Isolation Residency : Day 5 : Visual Journal : Hens Picking My Routine For The Day
I honestly don’t really have a routine everyday right now. Which might be whats driving me crazy! But I do try to exercise everyday, work on artwork, do my shipping of sold artworks, water the plants, take care of the animals, etc. So today I thought I would let the chickens pick my routine! I thought it was funny. The last one they picked didn’t really happen today, but there have been other days where this has happened!

MurzeMagazine Residency : Day 4 : Self : In Tune With Your Body
Remembering today how lucky I am to be in tune with my female body. The female reproductive organs are a magnificent thing. Certain hormones heighten our sense of smell. Our skin changes during ovulation. Sometimes our female bodies release two eggs at once or split into two making potential twins. There are endless amazing things that our bodies can do, but not everyone has access or the knowledge to learn these things in certain countries. Above is a very simplified version of our female reproductive organs made out of glass. Let’s celebrate our bodies and keep listening to what it’s telling you.
Isolation Residency : Day 2 : Clarity : Through The Looking Glass
Made myself a little magnifying glass with some glass stringer and a tea-light flame. Used that and a sphere of glass to show you how I'm seeing things these days. It is clear to me that I am not seeing things clearly right now. I miss human interaction. The non-virtual kind. I feel like when I have the chance to talk to people from a distance now, there is this ever encompassing feeling of something missing. Everyones reflections are over shadowing me. It is only when I decide to go outside do I see the connections we can all still have with each other even at a distance. It feels better then ever to talk to strangers. Way more then I ever liked to before!
Starting an Online Residency about Isolation during Covid-19 w Murze Magazine
Going to be blogging for the next 7 days about my online residency that I was accepted into this week at
Murze Magazine . Super excited to dive into this! So here it is…….take it away!
Day 1 : Isolation Two : Day to Day
Getting a feel for all of my art supplies in my home studio. These pictures paint a story of me going through the flow of brainstorming my thought process of this weeks residency. What mediums I want to use and how I can use the bits of glass work that I have at home without being able to be in the glassblowing shop. My creative mind is excited to have a project to do that involves other people around the world and to be apart of a community. Even if it is virtual! To reflect on my frustrations, deppression and embracement of new exciting opportunities will be whats in store this week. Stay Tuned!
