Not too long after my work, Left the House...my daughter and I left our house and we have created a home in my home town, Houston Texas...where we are surrounded by family, friends and, good eating. My collaborative food explorations have continued in various forms. Last year I created a work titled,The Things I Need. This work considered what we all really need in life. Several near and dear artist pals were invited to answer the same question in an inserted vignette. I decided I had what I needed .. I needed poetic simplicities in the everyday, a witness..YOU my audience, good community and forever and always my Grandmother's healing chicken soup recipe.
From that lesson I was able to see I need LOVE.
Well, I am getting it.
All these teachings and art works have brought me to realize the pedagogic component to being a Whole Artist and creating Whole works.
Here are some current related efforts that support the
