| Ready to go-Not too much stuff for 3-months of living and artmaking |
Dearest Readers,
The car is packed and Etta James pooch and I are on the journey to the Green
Mountains, land of my childhood and Irish relatives. My heart leaps.
Miss Gabby Garmin GPS is updated, retrofitted with a pinky
drive full of the latest 2013 North America maps. She is my windshield
sidekick.

Saturday June 8: First leg of the trip. Cool overcast drive
to The Hambidge Center in the North Georgia mountain town of Rabun Gap. It’s the
closing reception for the show “Fables of the Eco-Future”, curated by the
amazing Lisa Alembik. I’m in front of my drawings and photos of the hole I dug
last summer in West Rutland Vermont, talking a little about that personal
landscape of fullness and emptiness, the process of delving into the self, and
the connection it engendered with something bigger.

I spent the night at the peaceful, paradise land and home of
artists Lyn and Laurence Holden located off War Woman Road in Clayton
Georgia, a few miles from Hambidge. A river runs by their front porch, the
birds are quiet, a distant car from an unseen road thumps rhythms through the dark green silence of
approaching dusk.

I’m still talking in front of their hilltop home. Time to
get going…
