I will begin (slowly) to post a series of photos taken at Seattle's Fremont Solstice Parade (the most liberating and most fun parade in the world) and Fremont Fair, starting with the statement here I saw posted in a car.
"Seattle Art Car Blowout" is the 3rd largest art car show in the US.
This is now my new personal statement.

Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs Press Statement: State Visit of President of the Republic of Indonesia Dr Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, 2 to 4 September 2014
President of the Republic of Indonesia, Dr Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, will make a State Visit to Singapore from 2 to 4 September 2014 at the invitation of President Tony Tan Keng Yam. President Yudhoyono will be accompanied by his wife Ibu Ani Bambang Yudhoyono, and a high-level delegation.
There will be an official Welcome Ceremony in honour of President Yudhoyono at the Istana on 3 September. Following that, President Yudhoyono will have separate meetings with President Tan and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Prime Minister Lee will host President Yudhoyono and his delegation to lunch, while President Tan and Mrs Tan will host a State Banquet in honour of President Yudhoyono and Ibu Ani the same day. Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong will call on President Yudhoyono on 4 September 2014.
During the visit, President Tan will confer the Order of Temasek (First Class) on President Yudhoyono in a ceremony at the Istana. The Order of Temasek (First Class) is Singapore’s highest honour for foreign leaders. It is being conferred on President Yudhoyono for his positive contributions to the relationship between Singapore and Indonesia during his ten years in office.
President Yudhoyono and Prime Minister Lee will also witness the signing of the Treaty between the Republic of Indonesia and the Republic of Singapore relating to the Delimitation of the Territorial Seas of the Two Countries in the Eastern Part of the Strait of Singapore on 3 September 2014.
President Yudhoyono last made a State Visit to Singapore in 2005.
This was my ceramics project for the theme "confront". It had to be a piece that hung out from the wall and, optionally, could be a "confronting" issue. I chose to do both. Here is my artist statement regarding this work:
"As an artist I create with a number of different objectives - sometimes it’s to tell a story, mine or someone else; other times it’s to express and evoke emotion. For this piece, “sentence” I was aiming to make people consider the roles society often forces women into. Personally, as a woman who was raised in a two person working household, obtained degrees in higher education and then chose to stay home while my children were young, the apron is an item that I cherish. I wore an apron almost everyday for a variety of motherly activities, but I chose to don that apron. I could have easily chosen to pursue a career and work outside of the home. This is the goal of feminism, that women have a choice (for anything and everything) the same as men. Society’s aim to decide for women where they are best served is akin to deciding that a criminal should be monitored and detained. Therefore, I made this apron like a convict’s uniform. I gave her the inmate number 01152020, which was the date (January 15, 2020) when the Equal Rights Amendment final received the 38th state ratification. The apron provides three pockets that each hold a key. On the pockets are the photographs of Alice Paul, Betty Friedan, and Shirley Chisholm. These women all served pivotal roles in the evolution of the feminist movement. On each of the keys is a quote by that woman. These keys (and their words) demonstrate the wisdom, knowledge, and bravery of these feminist pioneers to release women from societal prison."

We are documenting the Manhattanville area (Broadway between 125th St. and 137th St. in Manhattan) that will be razed to make way for the octopus expansion of Columbia University. There are of course issues relating to the displacement of a poor and working class neighborhood that may be priced-out of the existing rental housing market through the use of QUESTIONABLE (unconstitutional) eminent domain maneuvers.
The legal concept of eminent domain allows the government and municipalities to take over and raze properties that are partially “blighted”, in order to transfer their sites to private institutions such as Columbia University. Community advocates and protesters argue that this approach to urban redevelopment favors wealthy redevelopers and private institutions at the expense of poor and working class residents, and encourages profligate municipal expenditures and tax variances in support of dubious or marginal benefit to the existing community.
“Terrain Vague” is a French term used by Spanish architect and critic Ignasi de Solà-Morales to describe ambiguous, unresolved, and marginalized spaces in the urban landscape. Terrain vague refers to sites that are often ignored in the mainstream discourse on architecture and design, such as industrial wastelands and monotonous suburban developments.
Solà-Morales notes that photographers and architects address terrain vague in differing ways. The photographer sees these spaces as places that are imbued with a storied past. Architects, however, approach these spaces as problems to be solved through design. Solà-Morales asks:
What is to be done with these enormous voids, with their imprecise limits and vague definition? Art's reaction . . . is to preserve these alternative, strange spaces. . . . Architecture's destiny [by contrast] has always been colonization, the imposing of limits, order, and form, the introduction into strange space of the elements of identity necessary to make it recognizable, identical, universal. The voids, imprecise limits and ambiguities typical of “vague terraine” conjure visions of a species of twilight zone. Rather than being submitted for entertainment and approval by Rod Serling, the haphazard spaces of discontinuous improbabilty of Manhattanville are being submitted for exploitative redevelopment.
True to Solà-Moraleshas' observation, as a group of photographers, we have chosen to address “terrain vague” by documenting aspects of a neighborhood community that will soon disappear into the mist of NYC history. The Manhattanville community has historically given sustenance and a sense of place to a succession of working-class poor but soon will give way to trendy gentrification. The proposed draconian development project is occurring in the context of an insular university institution that has continually expanded at the expense of its surrounding minority neighbors. Understandably, this has resulted in a significant amount of conflict dating back to at least the 1960's.
I found the proliferation of advertising signs in the ManhatanviIle community to be visually oppressive and amplified my own sensation of “terraine vague.” On some level I felt the huge advertising signs were selling “solutions” and “fixes” for manufactured needs that could not be openly discussed.
The intrusive messages seemed to overwhelm\ and diminish the legitimacy of signs calling for urgent action such as: “Halt Columbia University's abuses of eminent domain!”
Some billboards pictured self indulgent, self-satisfied role models enticing as they flaunt their wealth, fame, lifestyle and accomplishments. As if to say….I got mine,….and you? They insinuate to pedestrians what cannot legitimately be articulated or promised in words.
These corporate mercenaries of popular culture model poses and attitudes, that dangle an antidote to the toxic powerlessness and soul sickness of poverty.....quickly, effortlessly, magically….. Without the bother of self-awareness or struggle for social justice.
“Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.” ~From the movie Fight Club, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk
It is no wonder to me that the mixed messaging of political advertising and policy makers, etc., keep voters confused and easily misdirected, by so-called "wedge issuues", that appeal on the basis of low self esteem driven uncertainty and fear. Induced mass low self esteem is an interesting phenomenon that drives passive consumption of ideas, values, decision-making......and, yes, let's not forget.....material consumption!
Check out “Happiness: Lessons From a New Science”, by Richard Layard who exposes a paradox at the heart of our lives. Most of us want more income so we can consume more.
Mind control, anyone?
For me, the ideas that drive this photographic essay are connected to the vagaries of urban space usage and how the meaning of community is distorted, misdirected and shaped to fit the purposes of the power elite.
This art project hopes to bring attention to these ideas and inequities. It is expected that this work will result in an exhibition at sometime at the begining of 2008.

What it does: Normally you want your bra to be unobtrusive, but there are those moments when a gorgeous bra is just meant to be seen. For those occasions, it's smart to have a gorgeous, eye-catching bra, whether it's with sexy straps, beautiful lace, or a pattern that really pops.
When to wear it: Underneath sheer tops where the idea is that your bra is visible. Or depending on the venue, it can even be worn on its own as a bustier or bikini top.
When to replace it: This bra, even if inexpensive, can be seen as an investment and should ideally be one you can keep your whole lifetime, just as you do the clothes you wear on top of it.

I originally read it as: "No to the EU! Yes to much!" (in Norwegian) - which I thought was a brilliant statement capturing the zeitgeist in Oslo of the summer of 2005 perfectly.
Well it turns out that it says (thanks, Forteller!): "No to the EU! Yes to MØE!" Where MØE, or M.Ö.E) is a group of taggers operating in Oslo. Not half as brilliant, I'm afraid - but still a statement. (Location: Blindernveien, by the tube-stop).

Shame this place no longer exists. We tried to go back this year and were caught by site security before we even crossed the road to go near the asylum. Here's a shot from last year. We stayed in the single room shooting for around 30 minutes and started getting cocky. We carried on searching the hospital, avoiding security. We then went through a door and were literally left facing a security guard, we went to run but decided to hand ourselves in for the easy exit, after all fake names don't mean much.
