tucked away, in a tent

Here's a sneak peak of the surprise tent/blanket fort I made for Chris and I to hide away in, on Valentine's weekend. I have a little DIY to share sometime soon.

I've been traveling up, and down, the east coast quite a few times in the last month. Washington, D.C. has been on my wish list for a while. It finally was crossed off in December! Chris and I took the Megabus up on a Friday, and returned the following Sunday. It was brief, but wonderful. It's been a while since I've had an opportunity to see some fresh museums, and international art. We visited the Phillips Collection, where I fell in love with an art piece by Jae Ko, "Forces of Nature." A site specific installation, she used 800 rolls of brown kraft paper that she unrolled, and re-rolled on a potter's wheel, to then be stacked against the walls in the gallery. It was a beautiful study of movement, control and release, allowing the paper to fall where the gravity pulls. I loved the play of light, glowing against the contours, as it folds, and curves, to the floor.

it's passing to quickly!

Time is going to fast, and I can't keep up. I have a few non-New Year's resolutions, focusing on reaching a balance in life, between work, friends, physical health and creating. I am fulfilled creatively in my work, but what about the things I dream up that don't apply to that area? So, I'm recommitting to this blog, to keep me accountable in producing something, anything! It's been nearly a year since this picture was taken while I was drawing at a park. I may have drawn in my sketchbook 3, or 4, times since then. I want to catalogue my process, thoughts, or inspirations on here. So, here goes....
