beulah and maudelle
Okay, I know there are some folks out there who know more about early 20th century African American, Los Angeles-based sculptor Beulah Woodard than I. I'm trying to find information about and the whereabouts of sculptures she made of Maudelle Bass. Here's one:
The other, apparently, is of Maudelle in a Madonna pose (which I suppose this could be, depending on what the rest of it looks like). Help!
Spring has finally come here; though chilly today, things are blooming; there are lilacs everywhere! (Now that's I've got my digital camera's batteries I can start posting cheesy pictures.) Now that I'm settling in I can feel the clock ticking—that's inevitable, I suppose. Residencies are strange things. On the one hand, they make no sense—why leave your life and your stuff behind for a period of time? You can't possibly remember or have room to bring everything you might need to produce something. How can one really work that way? On the other, you truly do have to resort to your creativity or inspiration or something when you're plunk down in the middle of nowhere far from home and the mail is so slow that it takes 2 weeks to turn around a http://www.greencine.com movie (they're a cool independent alternative to Netflix). Suffice it to say I'm very happy to be here and I hope I get a fraction done of what I thought I would.
Oh, and for those of you keeping track I was turned down for another job—for the first time in my life I applied for a corporate job (reasoning that most arts money is corporate, too, just less direct) but I guess a bunch of varied arts administration doesn't translate. Sigh. How can I possibly be so unemployable? Oh, make that two—I think I can safely add UCIrvine to the list of rejectors. Maybe they all know I don't really want their jobs even though I could do them in my sleep? Sigh. I guess this just means I have to do my own thing, make it up. I got a few ideas brewing, my partner and I. Once again, stay tuned...
