Good morning, dear reader, as Ann Landers used to address those reading her advice column. It was published in (and on) newspapers across the country – good old fashioned, hard copy, news print and ink that one could feel, smell, and hear as its crunching sound protested attempts to advance from page to page… AnyoneContinue reading “It’s been ages…”
pinkStardust -“You are the good news.”
A Message from Roshi Joan Halifax Today (August 6th, 2024) marks the 79th anniversary of a day we cannot celebrate yet must not forget. Yes, the distance of time and the release of information about what happened and why allows for a different assessment of the decisions made and actions taken.

The pinkStardust Blues – post production
Well ba-low me down, as Popeye used to say. It certainly has been a while since I posted a blog entry. Dang, does anyone even know who Popeye is anymore? Ug,ug,ug,ug,ug… But yes. I haven’t posted anything because I’ve been very, very busy making art for two exhibitions at the Sidetracked Gallery at Artspace inContinue reading “The pinkStardust Blues – post production”
The pinkStardust Blues

The music video. Part II. Choices Making a music video implies one has music in the first place, no? And I didn’t yet, at least not recorded (turns out music in one’s head doesn’t count). So as I began to search out the help I would need to create the music video for The pinkStardust Blues, IContinue reading “The pinkStardust Blues”
The pinkStardust Blues
The music video. Part I. Background. Back in 2012 I conceived and began developing the installation that will be pinkStardust. As I began researching for the project (beginning with Las Vegas renaming itself the Atomic city and what all was tangled into that), I realized that the installation was going to be quite complex and multi-layered. NotContinue reading “The pinkStardust Blues”
pinkStardust – remind me, why?
The image above is a detail of a ‘reminder’ piece that I made in 2018 while journeying toward exhibiting pinkStardust. The worn velvet fabric was ripped off of the 2 ton boulder that sat in Zen Garden in ‘skin’ (more about ‘skin’, the first of 3 installations in my series My Manhattan Project, in previousContinue reading “pinkStardust – remind me, why?”
