Saw and delighted in Yayoi Kusama's solo show at Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea a couple years back. Those big individual square dotted works were there, as well as one of the mirrored infinity rooms. We viewers cued up to walk inside the door, two at a time to experience the infinity space. Yowza!

I could see and feel the coolness of the air that roiled the clouds above the dark pull of the river Ness.

I often meditate on my back stoop in the early mornings. I've noticed a robin making a next in a nearby bush and sitting on her eggs for several weeks, and now a pair of rose breasted grosbeaks making a nest in a cedar. Slowing down and noticing the bushes shaking, listening to the bird calls seems to be souling in everyday life.

I'm filled with bubbly happiness and peace like a river. Congrats, Ruth....you kick-ass artist you!

Dear K! RICHNESS is the perfect word for this entwining of art and science on an adventure. Ron Shaklee, the author is self-publishing and plans to get Maria the Hutia out by mid-summer! That is so exciting!

Finding time with scientists where we are free to venture past science always makes the experience richer.

When will Maria the hutea become available?

2012-04-26T08:50:59.073-04:00

Wonderful, Ruth! I love the illustrations you shared with me and I feel very fortunate to have had a sneak peak! I can't wait to see the book in it's final form. Watching you on your creative journey has inspired me to take a closer look at where I'm headed with my art and try new things too.

Nice, nice drawing. The song and video of endangered Bahamian species is upbeat, but heart-wrenching. Can't wait to see the book and all the illustrations when it is published.

2012-04-23T17:21:28.814-04:00

Great questions Hallelujah! The "wolf" for me is a catalyst, a pull or a push into the unknown. It is my decision whether to follow the wolf, thereby succumbing to fear, or, by facing my fears and jumping off the cliff, I subdue the wolf.

Isn't it wonderful how one's work can circulate so openly and mysteriously via the Internet? I love that about it.

Dear Gaea! Big intake of breath! You make me breathe happily with the thrill of my own excitement and yours! Thank you!

2012-04-05T14:53:49.900-04:00

This is indeed exciting. I'd like to learn how to do an animation too. I tried to tech myself Flash online last summer and I just couldn't get it. Too much info for what I think I need. I gave up.
Want to share the journey?

I love the idea of your making a movie using your art--your art which I love I should add. That will be a great adventure I'm sure, and something that will enliven others, too.

It amazes me that the moment in time when the heron landed and dragged the sand has been preserved in stone!

See See, thank you for your comments...I love the story about Don Smith too...inspirational--doing work that no one will ever see. Doing it for having done it!

Thanks Alan! You know that I share your enthusiasm for Ty Butler! I appreciate your sharing your thoughts here!

I am so happy to see this wonderful exposure and sharing of talent and compassion from a true artist, Tyler Butler. His enthusiasm about the 'what ifs" from the simplest objects is contagious. That was such a large part about the enjoyment of working with Ty on various photo shoots over the years - with someone I'm glad to call my friend. - AT

Dear Laura, Paleontologist Barbie's considerable spirit and knowledge wowed Darwin at that moment at midnight. Nothing else occurred, except that Barbie had a great discussion with Darwin about orchids and worms!

Is it true Paleontologist Barbie met the ghost of Charles Darwin at the British Museum of Natural History at midnight and offered him... certain considerations... and that's why she doesn't have to worry about the parasites or the poisonous insect bites so much? Because that smooth skin cannot be all natural.

Thanks for sharing! It looks like you all had a wonderful weekend with Kristen! Sounds like you had a break-inward rather than a break-through. Lovely!

Extraordinary images...inspired interview. I dove into the cosmos with the prehistoric raft of a work glove sprouting green shoots in outer space.
The ice tray felt like a science fiction movie set. I connected with Don Smith's lovingly tied bows that would soon be plunged in oil, out of view of appreciative eyes. I remember reading about the craftsmen of medieval French towns who were given a section of a gothic cathedral to carve and decorate as the church was being constructed. Even the guys who got the back of the cathedral treated their space with as much care as the front.

Dear Shelley, thank you so much for sharing your experience on San Sal with Kenny Whitfield! I am so happy that my interview with Kenny led you to getting the carved turtle you wanted! San Sal is a magical place. Kenny is an intuitive carver. You are a very kind person! Hallelujah!
