An art exhibit in Portland at HA museum gallery shop

 Hello Dears ~ I am having a lovely show at HA in Portland Oregon for October/November!

I would like for you all to come and visit this splendid secret gallery museum shop. I think that we should dress up in fancy costumes everyday in October/November .. even if we are simply doing things around the house or in our own heads .. we can transport from portal to portal and be the creative little particles that we are.

  HA ~ is here*

. the end of September .

it's chilly and still

at the end of September

the trees and the leaves

on the outside of shadows 

{layered painting on gelatin silver print}

sounds in the back of the room

with incense and coffee

and two cats near my feet

on the burgundy rug

 

in a field of floating

on a Sunday morning

it is beginning to feel like fall

the crows are outside circling around

.. floating in a field

of floating electricity 

little transmitters of gold

on her shoes

 thinking about lighthouses

and telephone poles in the woods

seeing the sounds of

things unseen and wondering about

the things we dream about

at 4am

also .. if you get a chance ..

I recommend watching 

The Dust Bowl on PBS .

During the 1930s, the Great Plains of the United States underwent 

a quick transformation to create a vast farmland to help feed the country. 

Despite the efficiency of the new methods used, poor planning 

turned the prairies into a wasteland, with Mother Nature leading

 the revolt against the land's inhabitants with an arsenal of massive dust storms 

and severe drought. A documentary showcasing the events that took place 

during the dreadful era, while also providing an example of what can happen

 if we aren't smart about how we pull precious resources from our planet.

intermission . this is a vintage test of the ebs

an intermission .. 

do you remember the tests that interrupted 

saturday morning cartoons?

'THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY BROADCASTING SYSTEM>>>

IF THIS WERE ACTUALLY A TEST...'

here is a little info about those 

annoying alerts that no longer happen.

The EBS was initiated in 1963.

EBS replaced the CONELRAD system 

instituted in 1951.

The EBS was replaced by the EAS 

which initiated in 1994 and was fully implemented 

nationwide in 1997.

here is one that would have been similar

to the ones we may have heard 

during those days

and this one is from farther away and 

a bit more interesting

.the girl with gold . and head set transmitters .

The girl with gold

sees other things

and thoughts on how to listen to the sea

blue bird eggs and head set transmitters

. a language of numbers .

 

she and her dog could hear

the electrical currents

from around the corner of the house

a faint broken waltz

a woman talking in 

language of numbers

a turn table with a broken waltz

a few cassette recorders , a microphone

 a bathtub amphitheater

  the imaginary sounds

from the pipes under 

the house

(the full field recording is on the website)

. in a field . on a submarine

yesterday I talked to a friend on my 

old black rotary phone 

he asked me how things were going 

I told him that it feels like I've been 

living in the forest in the twigs with the moss

on the lower level of a submarine 

looking out a porthole 

a book of ghost portraits . it's more like a sound

 It's more like a sound .. 

a book of ghost portraits

 that I made during our remote-ness 

and days of long lingering unknown

This small book of 20 pages 

is filled of ghost portraits

 painted with layers of gouache , cut paper and ink on paper

Its is a 5 x 7 soft cover book that has a thick card stock feel

and printed on 100% recycled archival paper

I am happy that it is now available for purchase in the shop )

.currents from a small door . and Clara

She stands by a small door

near the floor

thinking about the odd sounding noises 

 in the early morning

when everything is is still dark

when the world is still asleep

and a happy birthday to Clara Rockmore 

sound in the back of the studio 

on an overcast morning ..

She thought about the radio .

 She thought about the radio .. What noises and odd sounds 

 were coming out of the speakers . They sounded like they

formed a melody .

she wears a small red tie and a mask .

Your'e on your own .. Claire .. Until the End of the World

Week one of the strange new year ..

With the new year starting

and it being very strange and other things 

I have made some lovely new works 

to go with a peculiar tone and background mood 

And the New Prints are in the Shop !

I'll be staying here in my studio

in a corner of the house

working on ghost portraits and

talking with invisible friends

listening to sounds and watching films

with my two cats )

having pea soup and bread with cheese

on cold nights .

I watched 

Until the End of the World by Wim Wenders 

.. over a five day period of one hour a day .

I recommend watching since it is very fitting

for these times . Long travels and lingering

moments all over the world . 

Especially nice in a time when one cannot travel

freely and visit people and places .

Only in one's memories .

~ Your'e on your own .. Claire ..

Until the End of the World 

 

time becomes invisible in fog

today was Christmas 

during a dark plague

time in the studio making things

make the days go by

time becomes invisible

when we are living in a fog

things seem further away

in some ways

 

others . fog

anonymous others

not just pawns in a game

mental processes that are 

revealing and peculiar 

a few ghosts of the people I don't know

working in my little room

in the fog of days

mixed media on old photographs 

the sounds of far away playing in 

the background of the studio ..

wandering with shadows in Prague with Kafka 

 

A ghost and stairs

 A ghost on the stairs 

An in-between the

dark days of

October November

parallel places . the sky . one and two

The parallel worlds we are living in and have been .. are hovering over
us like . reminders of the fog and somewhere in the in between .

mixed media on paper . The sky one and two .

 The other day .. working in the studio . painting the walls
with powder paint and gesso . organizing boxes . the light is just right
in the mornings . a little haze of shade from the half windows and the
pepper trees . paper walls with masking tape from an installation
a few years back .

(~sounds from the radio tower in the back of my mind in the back of the studio)

Isolation tank . day 72

I made this one the other day .

in the midst of strange days .

a factory 

a mask

a sleep

mixed media . paint , photo , ink on paper

a lemon . a factory .

A lemon , a factory , 

a black hole I dove into .

memoirs from the factory .

remembering Mother's Day 

during quarantine . 

someone I would have liked to have around ..

with a calm , mellow demeanor and a little bit

of a sense of humor .
