Young has pulled together some very beautiful samples. I gave her yards of altered fabric to see what she can produce for pupae skins and other experiments. It was really great having her around because the place feels a little lonely this week without Joseph, her or Hilary.
Hilary called and generously sent a message for Young to apply at the studio with Isobel Sauers to do silk painting. I talked her out of taking a private school afterschool supervisor job because it will waste her energy and there are some textile jobs around right now. Too bad Joseph isn't here to shop his resume around.
It really is important to share information so we can survive fuinancially and socially in this work.
Young walked me through her installation about Walmart, the global economy and rice. It seems that some larger American Corporations are spending time marketing rice to Korea. Korea grows rice for it's own people. Young says that Asian imagery is intentionally used on packaging for American rice so that people will think it is from Asia. She challenges questions about global economy, food production and cheap labour and goods. Everything for the installation was purchased for very little money at Walmart.
Hope I can get the images up.
Roof not finished, missed calls from Lou Lou and now I only have one day with her, got a sinus infection.
All fixed with fresh raspberries and white chocolate. This was a way to help Brandon with his first tofu experience. Not so good....
