Spring Studio Updates

The rain continues to drip and drizzle on the potted herbs lining our front step but the blue skies are putting up a good fight for April's affection. If you ask me, I think the sunny side just might win. There are a few studio updates I wanted to share with you including collaborations on jewelry, theatrical sets, and an upcoming publication. More details...

1.
I am so excited to announce that I am part of Sprout Studio's artist-of-the-month collaboration. I've rounded out designer, Jen Lake's, bakers' dozen and I am smitten with the collection she's created. And honored to have my linoleum printed chairs and sewn bird canvas among the other artworks-turned-necklaces. Such a lovely job, Ms. Jen, and thank you.

2.
I am designing a set! Yes, a set for theater. Well, a set for dance to be precise. After seeing my Dresses/ Objects installation last summer, choreographer Hope Mohr asked me to design the set for her upcoming show at the San Francisco International Arts Festival. So, on May 19 I will debut as a set designer. The set will include digital photograph projections, a huge handmade cotton video screen, and a bunch of red thread. Cross your fingers, please!

I will have an article and photographs included in the upcoming issue of Viz Inter-Arts magazine. I LOVED the first issue and I'm honored to be included in the second. I'll show you images when it's released--such a wonderful poetry publication.

Hope you are happily navigating April--full of promise for the warmer days ahead and all the adventures of summertime weather. Or, for my friends on the other side of the globe, I hope you are cozying up to cooler and quieter months ahead. xoxo, k.
