Studio Notes

how to hold the question?

I’m working on a new series that I look forward to sharing more about in time. Till then, here are a few things I have been thinking about/with while working.

Working on my largest series to date in terms of a number of vessels and thinking about how to hold a question or idea across a body of work. Some notes in that direction.

An easy studio uniform. Denim chore coat. Jeans. Salomon sneakers because I’m standing all day.

Listen to the entire album. Always. On repeat. Endlessly loop it.

So we are here in the weather, here in the singularity. Here there is disaster and possibility. And while “we are constituted through and by continued vulnerability to this overwhelming force, we are not only known to ourselves and to each other by that force.”
- Christina Sharpe, In the Wake: On Blackness and Being, p. 134

It has somehow been 3 years since I was an artist-in-residence at Mas Palou. That week was the start of so much. Always grateful. Need to go back. I’ll be teaching my course Applications for Artists again this summer. Details/overview of the offering (self-paced, but we cover the same material live) here. Waitlist for enrollment information here. Hope to see you on Zoom.

more soon,
Gabrielle
