As the season of giving proceeds Little Hands Studio is gradually moving back into local galleries and pop-ups. The Petersham Art Center gallery member show is my first group show in many years and it's fun to get back out there and see what people think. One of my textile pieces is in the show [the "whites" blanket https://thatknittingblog.blogspot.com/2022/08/in-studio-news-whites-afghan-continues.html] and displayed very well. Many works are moving out into the world to live their own lives as capelets, scarves and shawls. I'm looking forward to showing works in more local galleries during 2023.
Me and Frida go back a long way and I am continually fascinated by her art and life. During this past year I found a copy of her diary that is edited by Carlos Fuentes. I began removing pages, thinking I would use parts of the images in my art journal. A few minutes into the process I realized that I could leave the book more or less intact and interact with the pages in wildly inappropriate ways. My path was set. I've begun to alter the book in crazy ways to experiment with her images and diary ideas. It's fairly mind bending and I highly recommend it. Below are a few of the pages of this work in progress.
