The title of this work shows my disdain for the incessant robocalls from BofA. What part of NO MONEY don’t they understand.
Also some progress on Chemo Today.Destroyer is on it’s side so the paint would run. A nod to Helen Frankenthaler.
Painting as I see it.

A recurring theme in my paintings are boxes that signify prayers or angels or wishes. I am going to make small paper boxes to hang in Chemo Today that will have prayers written on the inside. I experimented with using paper and a box that I was going to recycle. Thanks to an interest in handmade books I have the tools to make little boxes. I tied these, so someone could untie it and read the message. A little like a fortune cookie. But that may not be practical if they don’t put it back. Or does that matter?
Good models are hard to find!
If you think funding for the NEA is pork, go soak your head! And rural access for the internet, YES.
This is the back panel of Chemo Today. It’s 87″x48, and will be 7 inches narrower when we attach the walls.
Hey Charles, this is the one I told you about.
I used a ruler to get the straight line. I have a problem with lines or edges. I guess I’m not a crispy critter.
It was warm enuf to do some of the carpentry on Chemo Today. We ran out of wood glue, of all things. Gregg works Mon. & Tues. so it will be Wed before we get back to it. Do you have any travel posters or postcards that you’d like to include. Despite her frustration with no hair and the therapy, she still has hopes, dreams and plans
A Good Marriage can mean the joining of two walls. The screen is sitting on paint cans.
I’ve been working on the stones. There is quite a difference in the way the paint is handled from one side to the other. In the end it all has to balance.
We priced materials for Chemo Today. It will be Monday before we can buy anything. We found some nice details. I have to remind Gregg that this doesn’t have to be built to NC building code!
I thought I would have something to show you on the beginning of “Chemo Today”. It is the name of the project that I’m doing with the grant from the Arts Council of Hendersonville. But the snow turned to a nice layer of ice on our road, so I haven’t gotten out to price materials. Gregg helped me draw plans and we do have a materials list.
Basically we are building a closet. Here’s the working statement.
Abby, Beth, Claire, Donna and millions of women face Chemo Today. Travel back in time to see her this morning in her closet. She’s gathering her wits, focusing her chi, pulling herself together. Anny minute she will leap to her feet, or stagger, put something on her head, and march out the door to her future.
Three panels or doors refer to a classic triptych. The closet is a place to hide. Each woman knows there is no way to hide from this disease, or disguise the toll it takes on her body and soul.
I’m so glad you are here. I wish you incredible good luck and constant prayers, which is a pittance of what we need to get out of this *&^%$ mess.
This is a study for A Good Marriage. As I worked on the screen, I saw the need for more work on this piece.
We’ve been iced in for two days. Gregg helped me with the construction plans and materials list for Chemo Today. I had hoped to start tomorrow, but patience is more important than a crumpled car. I will share my plans and statement, at least.
