The residency was research based so we didn’t have to produce something.The research group is called Ayatana Artist Research Program. From it’s website, “The Ayatana Artist Research Program is a Canadian, artist run, residency program dedicated to encouraging…
The Interwoven Mathematics of Weaving: Exploring the ABBA Equation
In the world of mathematics, equations often evoke images of abstract symbols and complex calculations. However, there are instances where mathematical expressions find unexpected connections to the tangible world around us, revealing the intricate beauty hidden within everyday processes. One such example is the ABBA equation, a mathematical expression with a surprising parallel to the ancient art of weaving. Weaving, an age-old craft dating back thousands of years, involves the interlacing of threads or fibers to create textiles. The process is not merely a mechanical task but a deliberate act of creativity, where patterns emerge from the careful arrangement of warp and weft threads on a loom. It is here that we find resonance with the ABBA equation—a symbolic representation that mirrors the rhythmic dance of threads in the weaving process.

Alternately, some readers interpret this card to mean a near relative or a close friend of the querent. When the Page of Wands represents…
The Loss of a Vision
My time at Minuteman Press has taught me many things about the way I work. I knew some of the things, but its helpful to put it into perspective. If I don’t get along with someone work-wise, more often than not it is them… while on a personal level I cared for my boss and…
Music
I was a musician first! And classical music is my genre. I was trained as a Suzuki flutist, a Japanese method of learning the flute, studied percussion and the (lap, folk) harp in college, a self-taught pianist on the grand, upright and electronic keyboard. Today, I’m working on finding my own sound through classical and orchestral influences.
Pray for Strength
Lately things a been a bit rough. Last month I had surgery in my left ear to remove a cyst that blocked my hearing and caused significant hearing loss. After working in a cubical at Minuteman and not being able to hear my co-workers through the glass pushed me over the edge to get it…
Curious Egyptian hieroglyph
Relief of Itush Fifth Dynasty, reign of Djedkare-Isesi Limestone Brooklyn Museum of Art I was researching the other day and came upon this hieroglyph and found it very curious. Here for the first time we see a very human looking figure holding a staff. The Human does not have any Egyptian clothing/headdresses on its body….
A.I.R Gallery and NYC Experience
Last Wednesday my parents and I left Wellesley, MA and drove the 4.5 hours or so to NYC for my reception in Brookly, NY. This reception was one of the more humbling experiences. It mirrored the experience I felt when I exhibited my work in Provincetown, MA for the first time. NYC, has had a…
