Party in Miami 2night at the Bakehouse!
Velentine show upstairs in 9U

visit to the Miami Light Project

Wow what a show! I don't have any pictures. I never thought that going to a dance could be as much of a trip as going to the movies. Each of the four choreographers last night , as part of the Here & Now Knight emerging artist series, took us on a journey through time, fear, desire, and fashion. A couple times I had to remind myself that new work can be uncomfortable. I had to tell myself not to be quick to judge and to let myself experience the sonic, visual, moving worlds, and there were some real "aha" moments. Very much worth going out and getting soaked on the way there. Keep an eye on Natasha Tsakos.

Third eye skull 3D valentine

SOLD
Artists #artheart have been dropping like flies these last few weeks. Some of the great ones are gone. Tanning and Tapies and... It's a shame to know their studios will get all dusty. While alive they worked constantly and created in the realm of emotions and dreams.
This valentine is inspired by our trip to Edouard Duval-Carrie's studio. He just embellishes and embellishes and goes into the scary dark side of life armed with paint and fiberglass and all sorts of joy.

Visual bird nest poetry

This one just kind of made itself.
Come see the whole batch of valentine sculptures at the Bakehouse tomorrow night. Downtown Miami, 7-9pm.

Love you in 9U!

Prices: $50 and up

Fly

SOLD
Sometimes in grief or fear our hearts are squeezed tight as if in the grip of a hand. But there is always hope that can leak out and fly free.
We are praying today for the improving health of Mr. P.

Hope - By Emily Dickinson

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Cherry Blossom heart

SOLD Historically, Valentine's day fell on the spring day set aside since ancient times to celebrate the rejuvination of nature. The holiday commemorated the joyous rites of spring, as seen with the blossoming of the trees and the songs of birds mating.
I went to high school near D.C., and each spring pink and white cherry blossoms would pierce the winter backdrop and bring ecstatic hope to our souls.
This heart can hang upright (sorry about the picture orientation)
