Pinning: Paper Star Garlands

December 4, 2012 · Leave a Comment

In case you were wondering if I am one of those DIY, crafty, home decorated for the holidays type of people, the answer is no. However, through the power of Pinterest, I sometimes convince myself that I could be. These paper star garlands by Toast are the perfect starting point for someone as DIY-challenged as myself.  They look thoughtful and handmade, but arrive complete and ready to hang.  Just my kind of project!

In the Queue: American Movie

December 2, 2012 · Leave a Comment

If you’ve ever considered getting into the film business, or any self-financed creative endeavor, I highly recommend American Movie. This documentary is an honest, funny and sometimes heartbreaking portrayal of independent filmmaker Mark Borchardt’s attempt to fulfill his dreams. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Mark started making films at the age of fourteen when he purchased a super-8 camera at a garage sale. After serving three years in the military, he returned to the Midwest to attend film school at a local university.  He spent the next three years attempting to write, shoot and edit his independent film, “Northwestern.” The process was documented by filmmakers Chris Smith and Sarah Price and their resulting film, American Movie, won the Grand Jury Prize at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival.

Ultimately a story of friendship, family and the power of perseverance, American Movie is truly inspiration for the creative entrepreneur.

In the Queue: Swimming Pool

November 26, 2012 · 1 Comment

I am looking forward to sharing recommendations of films that I find inspiring and entertaining.  Released in 2003, Swimming Pool makes the top of my favorite movies list.  Starring the always amazing Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier, Swimming Pool is filled with mystery, melancholy, and gratuitous nudity.  Thus, even though it is mostly in English, it has the typical characteristics of a moody French film. The intentionally ambiguous conclusion sparked much confusion and controversy with audiences, but it is one of those endings that keep this movie on your mind.  Highly recommended with a bottle of red and a rainy day.

I’m excited to be a part of this exhibition. Ope I’m excited to be a part of this exhibition. Opening this Saturday 1-3.

Tall Grass Arts Association will present a new exhibit,

WINDOWS AND DOORS,

opening with an Artists’ Reception on Saturday, January 21, 2023. 

The very large show, with over 100 works, is filled with a broad range of artists’ views and interpretations of windows and doors – studies of them and their structure, design, unique patterns, textures, time- and weather-affected transformations, as well as their positions in history, religion, urban and rural life. 

The artists give us, through styles meticulously realistic to beautifully abstracted, views looking into, out of, or through windows and doors, and at the buildings, rooms, landscapes, animals and people observed or imagined on either side of them.

 With a variety of drawings, paintings, photographs, prints, digital, mixed media, and glass works, artists create not only representations of actual objects and places, but also several based on symbolic meanings and metaphors that windows and doors can suggest.
