The Tag Sale
There is nothing for sale at the TAG SALE. Please come and bring a piece of clothing which holds special meaning or a story within it. At the event, we will write the stories (in as vague or specific words as you would like) onto clothing TAGS and sew them into the garments. The items will be added to the clothing rack, where the community's stories will be displayed for perusal.
This will be a celebration of the humble artifacts that witness our complex lives everyday.
Secrets Under the Couch
You are invited to add a lost or secret memory to the objects lost under this couch. Please use the provided note cards.
Hopscotch
Really, the best means of travel from one part of the hallway to the eight feet in front of it.
Elsewhen, Meanwise, Otherwhere
the results of the Elsewherians Mail Art I was working on at the beginning of the semester. Check out the last image... I'm really quite proud and incredibly amazed at what came of the beautiful scraps of fabric Grant sent me, which I turned into the beginnings of a quilt, which turned into this beautiful piece of art.
2009 Hampshire College Commencement Poster Art
My submission is map - of the paths we create at Hampshire, of the identities we uncover, claim, or reinvent, of the places we've been and the places we will go. P.S. I REALLY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP!

ONLINE: Final Project for Art, Community, and Cultural Diversity (My UMass Class)
The documentation of our one-day, bus intervention. Met at first with a harsh note from the Pionneer Valley Transit Authority, I think in the end a good ole' conversation would've set them right on what an awesome project this was.
Mobile-Installations: El Tiburon
The beginning of an evolving installation in my car. Art on the go, for those with little time to spare walking around in circles pointlessly in galleries.
{the dangling object is a kid-made "mezuzzah" I picked up after someone left it behind in the kids service from Yom Kippur. It says one thing that this kid is going to work on in the coming year, and one thing that this person is sorry for from the last year}
{navigation device. moved to a spot next to the whales because joe told me i'd die if the airbag exploded out of the steering wheel. fyi}

ALIYA.
all of this is incredible, beautiful, inspiring.
(i read your blog religiously, did you know that?)
i am so proud of you and all the beauty that you are in this world.
i can't wait to see you
on the ice,
in the thrift store museum.
but in the meantime,
let's ride in our art-cars together
and sing wonderful songs
about love.
love,
mary
I'm mad that I missed the couch. Not just because it looks awesome, but also because otherwise I could say I'd been to every one of your Div III events, which would make me your official Div III groupie. Are you going to have credits? JOE has credits...
everything you make turns to gold! your art is so beautiful - I love to watch it unfolding from your ideas (which I always am concerned about - well, not always!) to these beautiful works of art!!!!
You are a gift!

mary - thank you. i appreciate all the support and love i receive in so many ways from all over my life.
elizabeth - you are more than a Div III groupie, you are a Div III inspiration and friend.
mom - thank you for everything.
