Many folks refer to the season between when the weather is snowy and when the weather patterns are more accountable to their sunny tendencies as the off season.
I’m not sure I have ever had a winter that was such an ON season. I am thrilled and so absolutely grateful for every person who has taken a moment to step inside my venture called FOXTROT and see the work and feel the feeling that space hosts. Sea Marie Biladeau, a talented yogi, acupuncturist and good friend has helped brainstorm and schedule the engaging and thoughtful programming I was hoping for. Jessi West Lundeen has only provided sneak peeks of the vibrant and modern work she is assembling for the first show to kick off the summer art series of featured artists at FOXTROT. Did I say that I’m thrilled? …so excited to be part of this, to share this, to do this.
In the other realm, the quiet realm, the realm outside of business hours, things are not off, they are just other. We (my dogs and I) are charging ahead, living many of my long term dreams. I’m doing a month long artist residency (!), in Goldfield, Nevada (!), living in a converted schoolie (!), encouraging and interacting with amazing artists who already live in this magic little town (!). That is four strikes of wonder, truly so many of my dreams coming true in this exact moment. I share stories of the time I get to spend in this central Nevada ghost town with my mom and she continually comments on how alive and happy I sound. This is just what the doctor ordered — spirits are high!
I have ten days left in this windblown place of dreams (both resting and rampant). repose, and authenticity.
