Hello from New Orleans. I arrived June 12th and am settling into the Wooden Tent for my month long sojourn. I am staying with my dear friend who is amazing and inspiring. Last Saturday we went around to the Second Saturday gallery openings. The New Orleans gallery scene is so different from New York. It was nice to see so many people out on a hot summer evening to look at art. I am taking lots of pictures so far, but no projects have emerged as of yet. So far my energies have been spent rescuing a cow trough to turn it into a swimming pool and finding myself the oldest “freespirit” cruiser bicycle that exists.
There are paper wasps building a nest on the window sill and I am fascinated and repulsed by them, maybe I should do some research, as I am living with an architect and watching her wasps fan their nest. I had read a book on insect and bird nests, fascinating stuff, but I was disappointed by the book, maybe I will check out the library down here, I bet they have air conditioning.
