What An Odd Little Day
It flew by and here I am with not a lot to say for myself. It’s all about the work right now, and that’s not very interesting in and of itself.
My photos are from my presentation to the education sub committee of the Board of Trustees at the de Young, about the iPhone app thing I am doing and my filmmakers’ residency there. It was kind of interesting; it’s always a trip to be around that kind of wealth and privilege. I am lucky to see it.
Then the ladies, because it is all (blond) ladies on the education sub committee, went down to meet with the current artist in residence, a male quilt maker named Joe Cunningham. I was proud to share the artist stage with him and his extraordinary work. Note that the large red and blue work in progress on the table is his, the small hand stitched dog is on the collaborative, anyone can work on it quilt.
I’ve got to say I am pretty darn lucky to be invited to meet, and often get paid, to hang out around all these diverse people and all kinds of artists. Remind me what I am allowed to complain about?
But as far as any hugely insightful things to share, I am so busy working I don’t have time to think right now. I did have a blast with my dad and my roommate last night, just making dinner here, shooting the shit, drinking wine and hanging out.
I’ve got to say feeling better overall is a huge relief. But isn’t that how our life cycles go? We have to dive into the murk, and then swim to the surface for the light. I am not feeling particularly sunny or happy, but I am not in pain, and I was for a while. But then I know how good this feels by comparison, and I have a hunch some sunny stuff is coming soon.
I do have to say however, this app thing is gigantic and I really can’t tell if we can pull it off or not, but I keep poking around the edges, doing what I can to hold to all and make sure there are no major train wrecks. It’s a bit past 9pm and I just wrapped up logging a bunch more clips, and it’s one of those things, the more you do, the more you realize there is to do.
Keep marching solider, it will make sense soon.
