It has been awhile since I blogged last. Summer
has been crazy between work and family. But we were able to get out and camp a
couple times. Just last week we went out to the West Desert to sleep under the
Perseid Meteor Shower. Being in the Great Basin has gotten me excited for
September when I get to spend three weeks in Great Basin National Park for my
artist-in-residency.
I am now finally starting to get ready for this
and have been thinking about my palette of yarn and what I will be inspired by
when I am out there. I know the terrain is quite diverse and so I am hedging my
bets and taking a little of everything. I know my palette will grow, thank
goodness I am driving so I can pack a bunch in my car. (It wasn't until I
saw these two pictures together that I realized that my palette looks very much
like the photo above. The Great Basin has been working on my subconscious all
along!)
I
have also been planning programs while out there and I hope to teach in schools
around the area a little about textile art and being inspired by the landscape.
All in all the planning part of any adventure is part of the fun but kind of
boring to blog about. I promise to blog more as my residency gets going.
