When people move house, they make a hierarchy without realizing it.

Some things get donated, some get stored, some make the journey regardless of whether they make logical sense in the new space.

Art almost always travels. It is rarely the practical choice that moves with you. It is the things that meant something. Has that been true for you?

What have you moved more than once, and would "Alice's Adventure" make that list?

People sometimes feel they need to be able to articulate why they want a particular work before they are allowed to buy it. That is not how it works.

The attraction does not need a defense. You do not have to be able to explain Larger Than Life to someone who asks; you just have to know it belongs in your space.

The explanation, if you want one, tends to arrive later on its own.

Every work that reaches a collector is the result of many decisions, including the decision not to show what came before it.

The finished work is not the whole story. It is the end of a longer, quieter process that most collectors never see.

When you live with Alice's Adventure, you are living with the result of the artistic process and all that comes with it.

What are you crafting this summer?

I’m back to basics - wire linking basics. Linking beads together to make a bracelet or necklace of your own design is really satisfying. This simple technique opens up a world of possibilities. Join us Thursday 6/18 or Saturday 6/20 at Mixed Messages Gallery to learn how it’s done!
