CONCEPTIONS

"To create one's own world in any of the arts takes courage."

Georgia O'Keeffe

Many ideas run through my head before going to sleep and as I wake up. I write them down in notebooks and on bits of paper. When I think I haven't any good ideas, scraps of paper magically appear.

(Expansion of the Mother/Daughter project continues as I ask for more brave volunteers to dress and assume the persona of their mothers)

Portrait/Video Series: Mother/Daughter Relationships

The woman portraying her mother will be featured in the painting foreground with troubles and/or joy depicted in the background.

The daughter will take on the attributes of her mother in costume and personality and I will conduct an interview. The daughter, in the mother's character, will express what is important and on the mind of their mother.

Portrait/Video Series: The Poet

This will feature poets reading their own works in different locations. Much like the Mother/Daughter Series, the video will be editted uniquely to the artist's readings and styles. An exclusive soundtrack will be included for each piece.

A very, very rough draft appears below.
