Disruption

I identified with the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. She said it disrupted her life for years. This is about my personal disruption.

Thankful for

Lots of things, but getting a new hip was MEGA. The pain was exhausting.

In the background you can see a canvas stretcher, looks like a trellis. It is 46″ x 54″ and it was aggravating to build on his existing work table, which was 36″ wide. So we built a “wing” that will fold out and give us a 5.5’x7′ layout space. When we finish the stretching we’ll put tools for stretching in a tub, and store under the work table. The wing will fold down, out of the way for his woodworking projects.

Disruption

I was thinking of this as a disruption from sexual assault. Then came two hurricanes. My hematologist is an oncologist also, and I see many people there with cancer. Disruptions happen. Some can be protested, most have to be lived through. This is a sketch on paper. I’m not much of a draftsman, more of an interest in color.

HART Theater lobby

Haywood Arts Repertory Theater has a beautiful setting with a spacious lobby. Today Gregg and I hung our work as the Livengood Studio. Deciding on so many things can make hanging my own work stressful, but we got it done and it looks nice. I was tired and didn’t get an “after” picture. The show will run during the production of The Bad Seed. The Haywood County Arts Council coordinates the art shows with the theater.

Small Works in Nov. & Dec.

I do not normally work small but I continue to support the Haywood County Arts Council (HCAC) by participating in this show that runs Nov. and Dec. The recent large works that I have done about damage to our environment have moved down to these 8″x10″ canvases.
