“What Would Joseph Do” – a juried show!

Mosaic2395952

Awesome news today.  Two of my pieces, "Get Ready. Get Set" and "Nest of Thread VI" have been accepted to the juried show, "Ode to Cornell: What Would Joseph Do?" . The judge was Lynda Roscoe Hartigan, Cheif Curator of the Peabody Essex Museum and a world renown expert on Cornell. I drove my pieces to Salem on Tuesday evening to drop them off and there were so many amazing pieces of artwork coming in the door it was rather intimidating! But I’m so glad I gave it a go.

The show coincides with the final weekends of the Peabody Essex Museum’s exhibition "Jospeh Cornell: Navigating the Imagination" (which I saw last weekend and was totally amazing).  The opening is tomorrow night (yep, the same night as the opening of "Things With Wings" in Portsmouth) from 7-9 pm.  If you are near Salem, please come!  I will be at both openings – Portsmouth for the early bit (6:30-7:30) and then Salem for the later bit (8:15-9:00).   Yeah!

    Wow. congratulations! I have read your blog for ages now (though probably never commented). It has been amazing watching your work progress and now to be in a show honoring Joseph Cornell–a favorite of mine–it’s just too much. You are obviously a hard working mother and artist. Congratulations again! I have a couple questions about softie making and know you are busy, but could I email you and ask?–meg

    Oh how I wish I was near Portland – congratulations! I, too, have loved watching your work evolve over the past year or so that I’ve been reading your blog. I think your question of whether your work is art is now a moot point.
