Jessica and Adam,

What you both are doing is such a Mitzvah (good deed)! What you provide to Felicia is a connection, hope, and love! We adopted our daughter from an orphanage in Balti, Moldova just over 3 years ago (she was 3 1/2 at the time). WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!! We wanted to take all of the kids home with us We remember the train ride well from Bucharest to Chisinau and back again - it’s like a sauna in there in June!

Please keep up the support to Felicia! We look forward to one day returning ourselves and seeing even more of the country and connecting with more of the children.

Be safe in your travels…

Jen and Dan

Thanks so much for sharing, Pauline. That’s an interesting thought about the fear of your art losing value/quality over time. I definitely have the fear of my work just adding to the noise or becoming obsolete.

I’m finding the difference for me to be that if I got pure pleasure out of the process of creating, I don’t have as much angst over what will become of it after I release it into the world. Firstly, because I think the love of the act of creating shows through in the work (like that guy saying of Twombly’s work, “He had fun doin’ it.”). And also, I think there’s the peace that even if nothing seemingly comes from my work, at least I’ve derived pleasure from the act of creating, and I think that’s worth a lot.

What do you think?

Jessica this was so inspirational.

I often shy away from these labels and find it rather stifling to say the least.I have come to lable myself as artist,poet,conceptual and performance artist,singer,songwriter,friend,animal lover bla bla…but none of the defines me..I struggle with the box idea.I struggle with being a ‘poppie” the Afrikaans word for very lady like pretentious business like ladies.lol.

I find that I am ..lost.and then found..always somewhere else..Mostly in my own little dream land.Twibly’s art really challenges my own idea of art..making..I am in so many ways limited with my own paint application..the fear of it loosing value over time…with the medium fading away and loosing its quality.

I envy his honesty and hope that I can escape some of these boxes myself…what do you think?
