Vacationing in my dreams

We just returned from a lovely vacation to my in-law's farm in Illinois. It has been very hard to return home. I miss being in the middle of nowhere with only playing and reading and daydreaming filling my to do list. In my dreams, I am still there breathing in the fresh, sticky air filled with butterflies by day and fireflies at night.

A book project

ASSEMBLY a collaborative book project from Maine artist Karen Gelardi has captured my imagination. Of course, I love her drawings and the fact that this installation will be comprised of books, but I am intrigued by her involvement of collectors as collaborators and curators and her goal of sustainable funding for installation art. You can purchase a book that will be part of the artwork, and it will be shipped to you following the installation. More information can be found at www.karengelardi.com.
