Ah! So long, so much.

Dearest K,
I can't believe it!  It's been 3 months!  I'm terrible. 

It's not out of laziness, though, I'll assure you of that.  I've been busy busy busy.  Here's a quick archive of events:

Chris had a birthday = we got a record player!

Surprise weekend with you and art--sooooo good.

I hugged a Polar Bear in December.

 

 

Quick visit home for Christmas--to see a very mustached family and petrified trees on eroding beach (Huguenot Park).

 

New Year's Day good luck brunch with brother and friends.

 

 

 

Chinese New Year celebration at our house!

Rebuilding the Soft Shop (debuts THIS Saturday with a folk song sing along).

 

Ryan and Stacey's wedding weekend in Jamaica.  

 

A very chill birthday (thanks for my delightful gifties from you!).

And major, I mean seriously major, work on the Traveling Truck Show project.  Check out the Call for Performers and Resources on our website.   I've been finding incredible research, making connections, presenting proposals to City Advisory Councils, writing parts of the script, and getting completely consumed.  It's wonderful! 

love and miss,

k

What a great December! I'm spending the next few days relaxing and partying. The 3rd Annual Hopkins New Year's Day party is almost here. Miss you already. Happy 2012!

Love, K 

what a surprise!

Mystery Caller K,
Thanks for conspiring with S for such a wonderful surprise!  Your man voice indeed threw me for a loop.

Cool cardboard art, too!  I love the color and pattern and type.

I wanted to show you something I've been working on.  It's a little video experiment to accompany an old song I recorded.

Boom:


Can't wait to spend the weekend with you!

love,
k

A cardboard quickie..

Hey K,

Have you and the Mr. seen this artist? Thought of you both. Seems right up your alley.

Ana Serrano

Love, K.

Surprise!

Dear K,

YEAHHHHHH! So excited you are coming down to visit! ;)

You and Mr. C are so lucky to have Stacey and Ryan! They love ya to pieces and I love them for sending you to me for a weekend! May the parties begin!

Talk soon, dear. Love, K. (aka: "Mystery Caller")

Exploding with words

Dear K, 

So my new exhibit is up! I literally spent last weekend hanging from the rafters, installing 300 ft. of hand cut text around the space of Whitespace Collection

I'm feeling really good about it. Thought you might want to see some pics! The opening is next weekend and this installation will be up throughout the whole season. Yeah! 

On a lighter note.. meet our new friend, Lilith!! ;) She's an outdoor only friend.. showed up on our door a few weekends ago, and hasn't left. As much as this is a shock to me, she's actually pretty cute. Plus, the Mr. is in cat lovers heaven. ;)

Been thinking about ya. Hope you are great. 

Love ya, K.

their dreams and ours

K,
OMG, yes!  I just got into Swoon, after watching this movie: Our City Dreams on Netflix instant.  It shows her Mississippi River Project towards the end.  So cool!  Plus it highlights other amazing women artists:  Marina Abramovic, Ghada Amer and Kiki Smith.  But I appreciate Swoon's alternative approach to the art world in general, and her sincere gestures for bettering community.

Thanks for all the links!  Good luck with install.  Let's chat this weekend.

Love you!
