Studio set 2

[avad]

Finally a day to paint. It's been raining forever it seems...flooding and grey and thunder. Today it clears a bit. My thoughts whirling...on all topics...of community, immigration, borders and language, networks, groups, clubs, identities. Horrible recent events in the area...anti-immigrant picketing, youth violence.
Attended a meeting regarding this. Main question: How to encourage healthy dialogue between the isolating and misunderstood groups. Thinking of working with teens again. Maybe at the high school?

In the studio I tinker with my little sims, laughing at the juxtaposition of a classic tsunami painting image on an asian art book I just bought and the little worlds. Laughing because I dreamt this. And because I don't know if it's funny. or if I'm awake. yet.
