website directions

I am musing over my website. the latest version of iWeb has improved some of the key issues but has changed the gallery setup quite drastically so I find myself in a difficult place. I can continue with my original gallery setup with the .htaccess lightbox mod.

Public Nudes Not Vilified

Susan Loehn said her office had not received any complaints about the nudity and she did not anticipate prosecuting DeVries any time soon.“I love that it’s in such a public place,” she said.Geis said she considered the possible outcry before she arranged the exhibit and consulted the Northampton Arts Commission, a city board with appointed members…. Camner, a graduate student at Princeton University, called the exhibit intriguing.“It’s a very beautiful portrayal of human forms,” she said.Her parents, Sharon and Robert Camner, said they don’t have much public art in Tacoma, Wash., where they reside. They didn’t think the nudity in the exhibit was off-putting.Nude statues taken in stride- MassLive.com:It’s so easy to focus on all of the restrictions about nudes, the controversies and the censorship.

Adrift

I am feeling a bit adrift in my career at the moment. I think being stuck between two artistic seasons can be quite confusing to say the least. the US season is hotting up which is great, I have a lot of calls to respond to, but I want to work on my own exhibitions and I’ve been experiencing insane delays in my current prospects.

Nimoy’s Nudes

He knows that he is an unlikely champion for the size-acceptance movement; body image is a topic he never really thought about before. But for the last eight years, Mr. Nimoy, who is 76 and an established photographer, has been snapping pictures of plus-size women in all their naked glory…. Michelson Galleries in Northampton, Mass., through June; a larger show at the gallery is scheduled to coincide with the November publication of his book on the subject, “The Full Body Project,” from Five Ties Publishing.

Back from Festival

Well, I am back, slowly getting into the swing of things again and resting up from a full easter. I am part of a historical reenactment group and indulge my love of costume making, singing and research.

a New Ochre Nude

The other night I came home from a party where I had enjoyed much art geeking and looking at amazing works. well, after all that I had no choice but to paint – it was a physical need so I practically ran into the studio at 2:30am pausing only to grab my iPod.
