This morning Adam and I had a hoot being part of spot filmed about theChair Affair that will air bright and early (for me at least) this Saturday morning at 8 am, on a show called Fusion on KOIN channel 6 (CBS). The windows at the former Sak's building look wonderful and are overflowing with the amazing artist creations that go around the block at Pioneer Place on SW Yamhill. Adam and I got to feature our chairs,(Tiff was with us in the spirit of their collaboration), as the founder of The Community Warehouse Roz and Miriam the Chair's Chair, educated the community about all that the Community Warehouse and Chair Affair bring to our community. The need is greater than ever, to bring families the basic needs as they begin to set up their household in a new apartment, many for the first time. It brings to our attention the creature comforts that many of us take for granted on a day to day basis. Tickets to the two events are selling quickly and a number of chairs have already been sold, so check the website to either purchase your tickets to these great events or to buy your chair + directly from the website. Don't miss out! Help support this great organization!
I am a collaborator with nature, often using found objects in my clay sculpture. My greatest inspiration is my motherhood and nature. Working with clay is a tactile, spiritual interaction. It's a dance as the image emerges and takes on a life form of its own. The story gradually reveals itself and not always upon completion of the piece. It is a gradual unfolding.... "What the caterpillar thinks is the end of the world...the butterfly knows is only the beginning!"
I keep my spirit vitalized by creating mixed media sculpture, sculptural drawings, exploring narrative photography, writing, participating in collaborative art projects, volunteering for various Portland organizations, walking in the woods and along the Oregon coast collecting the next sculpture inspiration that nature offers me, enjoying the solitude of the Lake in Washington, kayaking, camping, snorkeling in Hawaii, making my voice heard as a quiet activist for various humanitarian issues, appreciating live theater and music in Portland and enjoying the vastly rich life that Oregon has to offer me, but especially spending time with my family. I am savoring my new journey as I explore the middle road of Buddhism. I try to live an "intentional life" every day with "Jo Y"! I feel like a square peg who has finally found her square hole!
