The Blood of Our Labor, the Force of Our Breath, at the Garden House at Goddard College, where it was shown this summer (the first photo is of the same piece, from inside the house). Wendy says about the work, "I was very effected by the recent rice shortage and earthquake in China. It led me to think deeply about the landscape as we know it disappearing. And the air which we breath becoming impossible to breath. Something to think about as you look at the simplicity of this cloth. It is my belief that we can say much without using large amounts of words and imaginary."

The Measure of Your Effort, right
Another really cool new thing is the Creative Stream, a new artist-documenting web-site, based here in the DC area. Co-founder Jesse Cohen writes that "the goal is to develop a collection of interviews with creative individuals, organizations, and more. We look forward to the future discussions developed in relation to these interviews. Soon we will develop a discussion board directly related our work, and we look forward to your reactions here. Please respond to the content!" The first interview is with my friend Jennifer, who I met through Artomatic. I think the site looks great, and I'm really excited to see where Jesse and James take it in the coming months.

Hey Alex, Thanks for posting this - how cool to see it out there on someone else's place. Just a little note. I am actually not in a summer program... I am full time in the MFA-IA program at Goddard College. I am hoping to have some more work up this spring in VIrginia, and New York City. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again! Wen.
I knew I would get something wrong - so I fixed the post to read right - thanks!
