Thoughts on art and loss. An invitation to drinks. Lots of art jobs. A museum residency. Scholarship and prize money. Upcoming events and exhibitions. Highlights from Vermont. Plus, a ceramics review!
Wow, this one feels as though you were speaking directly to me. I am reading this on Saturday the 3rd, the sixth anniversary of my own Dad's passing, and have been quite reflective this morning. My father was an avid collector and saver, and I am interested in the how the perceived value of an object changes once the one who valued it is gone. For me, he lives in so many items around my house, but once I am gone, who knows? I laugh at the irony that my paintings of these things then become objects themselves, to be thus considered by another generation. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
