A symphony of vacuum cleaners

24, Sep 2009

Earlier today, we passed by the symphony building downtown and saw a girl entering with a vacuum cleaner. I immediately had this image in my head of a bunch of people up on the symphony stage, in their tuxedos, playing household appliances like they were classical instruments. More and more, I’ve been really digging on [...]

What is Laughing Tree, anyway?

22, Sep 2009

We had lunch today with Sam Davidson of Cool People Care (yeah, I know we’ve mentioned him a lot lately… he’s cool.). He helped us wrestle with the questions, “What exactly is Laughing Tree, anyway? What are we trying to do?” I thought you might have the same question, so let me share some things [...]

New Twist

20, Sep 2009

Today we visited several cool galleries in downtown Nashville and were heartened by the burgeoning local art scene! There’s some great stuff happening. Especially cool are the galleries in the Nashville Arcade off of 5th Avenue. We visited our friend Beth Gilmore who curates Twist Art Gallery on the second level of the Arcade. It’s [...]

New photos by Adam

8, Sep 2009

Adam was on a shooting spree the last few months as we traveled Europe, and now that we have returned to the states, he’s editing and starting to process and combine them through some photo transfer techniques. We’ll share more about that soon, but here’s a sneak peak to some of Adam’s newest work: We’ll [...]

It’s good to be back.

1, Sep 2009

Last week, Adam and I found ourselves back in Nashville, cutting our six-month tour of Europe down to three. What led us unexpectedly back to the States was an issue with our house, but we’ve found that it was actually pretty serendipitous. We’ve hit the ground running and are making the best of the two-plus [...]

Would Beauty Transcend?

12, Apr 2007

What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. – from “Leisure,” by W.H. Davies I just read an incredible article by the Washington Post in which they posed the question, “In a banal setting at an inconvenient time, would beauty transcend?” They enlisted one of the world’s [...]

Close-knit

2, Mar 2007

I finally finished my sweater! I have been knitting my first sweater, on and off, since early December. I learned to knit around Christmas 2005. My Grandma Rau gave me a few balls of yarn and some needles for my birthday, then she sat with me on Christmas evening and gave pointers as I knit [...]

Painting with lenses

23, Jan 2007

What do you know, I did think of something worth writing about… Tonight I’m teaching my last art class of the twelve-week session. They really want me to do another round, but I’m not going to. Not now at least. I really enjoyed it and everyone seemed to get a lot out of the experience, [...]

Cross-training

9, Dec 2006

Adam and I have had the creative bug lately. Adam has picked up his paints and pencils again. He has done a bunch of sketches, and today he did some watercolors. He’s also doing a little acting. It’s fun for him. Adam’s is also continuing to do a lot of artistic photography, and he’s thinking [...]
