feels good to work on....though it's a slow process with this particular series because what I choose to write feels so important. so often I was halting for a week or so...in order to try to decide what specific statements/hopes should go in this 'year'/page. with the weaves or puja/prayer pieces it's somewhat easier because each nail is a thought/prayer and there are so many that it feels looser , more able to include many things.
anyway, now out on the deck, layers of white paint building up, softening the edges of the nails....

Look I'm famoose
Jan. 16th, 2005 12:24 amThere is a profile/article in the newspaper out here on me this week so all the guys in 7-11 are teasing me.;).
eep!.
It's online too so I'll link to it easthamptonstar.com/feature
The real article (in the paper) included two black and white pics of my artwork also, one of 'Mending (detail)' and one of 'Kayla's Community' so that was nice. I kindof hate the pic of me there...I was feeling awkward/self-conscious/stiff. But anyhoo the article is pretty good overall so I'm happy. You never know how a writer will present stuff from an interview...and our talk was really, really casual when he came over so I had no idea what he would put in.
Too bad he didn't get the meaning of Puja right. That's very important to me...but I should have explained fully I guess.
Maybe I'll send him this link that puts it quite well. Just for future reference I suppose since it's too late for the article.
But anyway...nice to be sortof famous. hahagulp
