Following are meeting on Feb. 14, we engaged in an e-dialogue. Our goals were to come up with a name for this event. The term “lore” seems to set well with us.
our potential material could inspire me to completely change this list.
> I know I want do movement inspired by:
> planetary shift,
> the power of the woman’s body
> the woods in autumn,
> a slowing deteriorating relationship
> a child’s drawings,
people who give up
CROWS..i am thinking of making a flock(technically murder, but yikes!)
One more day in LA then back to normal. You go!!! Its all sounding awesome. Nice to digitally meet you.
LORE is something I'm thinking about--among other possible words and
themes--and since I really like the word itself will be thinking about
mates and matches.
Sketches sounds great. Do it.
I'm inspired by the garlands. I like to recycle, so will probably
start with things I have. Fabrics, trims, threads, etc.
I like LORE.
While skiing today I thought a lot about LORE. It could also be part of what
we call ourselves (our little ad hoc group), as in: A Lore Collaborative
presents . . .
This little video makes me want to run, dance, roll, jump, wear lace and be
more French!
I made my first garland last night. It is black & white with a splash
of orange w/ turquoise thread. A mix of scraps. I took it to a
dinner party and everyone seemed to like it. It definitely added to
the festivities.
I'm trying to imagine June . . . it's nice.
back walls, and up to where chairs begin will be "the gallery" this will be where
art hangs(paintings, crows, and whatever else of the visual art will spring about)
I want to dance on a piano.
It's like dark chocolate and the flaring nostrils of a brood-mare and velvet
ball-gowns and pomegranates!
everything...i want to throw myself down a dune like that...and stomp my feet and
run around in tattered lace.
unbridled..wild..vulnerable..yes!
Lore Lines (like laundry lines or laugh lines or family lines)
or
Lines of Lore
lines are something we can all relate to, the line of a pencil, the lines
that make little bird tracks by our eyes, the line of a seam, the line of a hip, the
line of a poem, a song, the line of a outstretched arm, the lines that connect us.
I love the photo.
The Fabulous garlands are beautiful. I am so intrigued not only with
the various garlands, but the shadows they create as well. Could be
very beautiful against the crazy ceiling in Mills.
I also like the clothespins. At Art Snake I have displayed my quilts
on a laundry line.
Thanks for this love note.
I feel very happy for you with this project. You seem fully filled.
The dance, the Mills, the photo, the ladylove connection.
And you are certainly challenging me, but giving me oodles of support
all at the same time.
I've always liked the ex-voto paintings of Mexico (although I haven't
studied them too much and know not very much about them.) I believe
they are paintings created almost as a thank offering for miraculous
events in a person's life. They might even be left at little shrines.
dancing in your wedding dress, makes perfect sense..
I was wondering how you feel about masks?
I don't yet know where my poems will go; I feel it coming to me and

The deep urge to make this a really polished art event is resonating in me
as well. The power of a name.
I think we're all going to changed after this event.
my chicken scratch notes are a little too difficult for me to decode at
this hour, and my head is still swirling with the potential of this great
project.. here goes my follow-up.
Getting
people in that theater to see productions, such as ours, is the key to
bringing in more donations to the Renovation Project, thus getting the
ball rolling... the cultural renaissance, the new economy.... we're at the
forefront.
