Natural Dyeing Experiments
These images are from our cochineal dyeing day, and all of these colors were from the same dye pot! It involves shifting the chemistry from light pink to scarlet to purple.
Shoreless Sands
Text/Message
Maternal Mitochondria has three pieces in the show “Text/Message” with Shoebox Projects in LA. The show description: “Text/Message” focuses on how we use text in fine art. Whether painting, sculpture, mixed media, video, digital, the use of text plays an integral part in telling stories. It can add a poetic layer, or a humorous anecdote. Text can challenge societal assumptions, activate our inner desires or crusade for long held beliefs. Text also lies.
Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts
I (and Maternal Mitochondria) have a piece in the show Words Matter at the Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts! Check it out here.
Words Matter… an important concept, but lost on many, especially in this digital age, where lies spread faster than truth and sermons delineating the difference between Facts and Truth are all the rage. Words last long after people who spoke them have faded away… motivational, stifling, humorous or ironic the addition or inclusion of words can change how we view an image, or how we view the world. The exhibition will open on June 15th to explore how words and images can make us laugh, polarize opinions, erect barriers or breakdown walls. We are looking to challenge your perceptions and shine a light on how words, phrases and even off hand comments have the power to change lives.
The Words Matter exhibition will open on June 15th in tandem with Sticks & Stones by Gershon Stark, a solo presentation exploring the lasting negative impact of those “words that will never hurt you”.
CURRENTS Festival!
We are excited to host eclectic multimedia performances at the Santa Fe County Fairgrounds! Performance schedules below.
All performance events are free with CURRENTS Festival admission tickets. Please note, Sandbox Music is a partner event with and located at Jean Cocteau Cinema with $15 tickets (limited seating).
Summer Studio Assistant
I am looking for an art assistant in Santa Fe, especially a teenager who would like to make a little $ this summer.
Pay: $15 an hour, probably 1-2 days a week but I’m flexible.
Location: Private studio on the southside.
Requirements: Preferably someone who is interested in art and has a reliable mode of transportation. We are also a kid and dog-friendly space.
Basically I need some help doing things that are a little hard for me physically, but shouldn’t be too difficult for someone else. Light dusting, moving boxes, prepping fabric for dyeing. I’m also more than happy to include free art lessons! We have the facilities to do printmaking, photography, woodcarving, marbling, dyeing, sewing/embroidery/yarn etc, Cricut, and 3D printing (starting in July). I’m probably missing something, so ask if there’s something specific you’d like to know about!
If their parents sign a waiver, they can also have supervised access to our woodshop and metalshop. My husband loves to teach welding! He also trained as a blacksmith.
We would need to do an interview first to make sure everyone gets along! Hoping to find a good fit. I will also be extra slammed during the CURRENTS festival, which runs from the 16th-25th, so may not be able to start until after that.
