first time
Nika and I took little Cecilia to the dog park today. First time. First time for Cecilia to see so many little pups running around together. She was pointing with her index finger: at one, then another, then another. So much to see. Never before seen. She was seeing dog. As in what a dog […]
I tell myself
Day before yesterday, I wrote a blog about an earlier iteration of this piece. Never shoulda done it. I’m not following my own advice. I tell myself: “Never talk about a piece while I’m working on it.” Or at least, don’t proclaim that I know where it’s going. Especially – or perhaps- BECAUSE I may […]
conundrum
Someone asked me today what I did with my art. Did with my art? When I’m not inside it? It felt like when I get the question: how are you? And I wonder if my answer should be about this moment? this day? this lifetime? It’s all about perspective. Near, mid, far distance. I was […]
negative space
I just said good-bye to a dear friend. She was here for weeks. And during that time, she was – shall we say – very present. She is someone who is foreground. Full on. Not someone to go unnoticed. While she was here, I was playing with the small rolls of fabric I had on […]
just about (with photo)
Remember when you were small and you were told something was “about to” happen? Something really fun. Something you loved to see. Like snow coming. You looked out the window. Waiting. It was about to snow. It was about to… tied to some deliciously anticipated event. Yes. I’ve been doing a lot of “about to” […]

ingredients
My daughter, Nika, and her husband and baby were moving today. All the many pieces of furniture and clothing and books, etc. were being shifted from one house to another. Moving belongings – one by one. It’s amazing how many items we realize we have when the grouping that happens in a home is taken […]
2020! again
Okay, this is Peaches looking back at 2019. So yesterday. Right? We are now – yes – at the year 2020! And that has to feel good. So good that I keep hearing people talking about resolutions. Grand resolutions. My resolution? Well, look at 2019. What I want is, quite obviously, more color. Okay, yeah. […]

full moon
If you wonder what Peaches and I were doing at 12:12 on December 12, you can see for yourself. We were contemplating the profound, inner workings of this place and time. We were thinking about the mystery we were born into. The mystery that surrounds any being when they pass on. And the total mystery […]
