"to be flying is not to be in it"

This is one of the women who spoke about flying and what it meant in her life. "To be flying is not to be in it". So simple and strong. For her to act as if flying was transformative and placed her "not in it".
I am so excited by this work, and so happy when I go to visit and make art. Art becomes this wonderful circle, where, at times, the actual making occurs between us, through conversation.... And then I think of all of the wonderful feminist, conceptual artists...

Yesterday was a day of comic errors. I had baked muffins but did not have the key (turns out it was in my possession)... Showed up with the idea that we could at least eat muffins, if nothing else. We tracked down a worker who was kind enough to open a cupboard and the kitchen - so we had tea with our snack. And some beads. But this gave us also an extended period of time in which we could really begin to explore the banner production.

This is a sneak preview of the banner again! We will show snippets over the next weeks. Thanks!
