Liz Sweibel|Artist: July 2013

http://lizsweibel.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 17, 2013. This summer has seemed intent on thwarting my needs and hopes for it, though it has delivered a lot of lessons about myself and is - I hope - poised to improve. Waiting for a taxi at JFK on my way home, I learned that the Asiana crash occurred 30 minutes after I took off. Rest in peace, Glenwood. June 1-ish, 2009, to July 11, 2013.

Tuesday, October 22, 2013. Fragments of our own. Hit the notes I wanted it to. What We Do to Each Other, in fragments of our own. Fragments of our own. Fragments of our own. I hope that the modest sense of traction I'm feeling is real . and lasting. The exhibit was a terrific experience. It was. Last weekend was open studios. The work I put up dated from 2007 . a revisiting and re-presentation in the wake of fragments. I plan to visit there this weekend. Sunday, October 13, 2013. Saturday, October 5, 2013.

http://lizsweibel.blogspot.com/2016/11/almost-another-year-has-passed-since.html

Sunday, November 6, 2016. Almost another year has passed since writing, and I just ordered Journal of a Solitude . how interesting, inevitable, and agonizing to reread from a year ago and see that my questions and struggles are pretty much as I left them. What is shifting - by forceful intention - is my attitude toward my instinct for solitude and meaning-making. It isn't a weakness or flaw or source of self-consciousness unless I do that to myself. It is what grounds me and gives me a voice. And what if .

Friday, July 25, 2014. It dawns on me that I've not felt fully settled in NYC since returning in 2004. No wonder I look around my apartment and see nests: found nests, made nests, suggestions of nests. The loft was always a transient space; the trauma of that mass eviction (2007) still affects me. Judy and her third floor in NJ were the net that caught me and helped me keep sanity, momentum, and Timmy and Riley as I sought my next roost. I took a studio in South Slope while living there. An artist posted...

Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Two Japan tsunami drawings are newly finished. Untitled (Sendai Port, 3/11) sold in Memphis, and I sent 10% of the sale price to the Japan Society for tsunami relief. The check just cleared, and I would like to see that happen again. Untitled (Tamura II, 3/11), 2012. Untitled (Miyako City, 3/11), 2012-2013. Untitled (Sendai Port, 3/11), 2012. 825 x 11.75".

Liz Sweibel|Artist: May 2013

http://lizsweibel.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 25, 2013. My latex arrived yesterday and the new label - more craft-y looking than the serious MOLD BUILDER statement I was searching for - was ubiquitous in my searches. Who knew? In my studio visit with Maysey. In March, talk of the Japan drawing. S prompted me to pull out my mother's pastels. I have had them since her death in 1986, years before art school was even a thought. In layers of synchronicity, my dear friend Ellen Eagle. Just published Pastel Painting Atelier. Recent purchases ...

http://lizsweibel.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 29, 2015. How nice to be drawn back to this blog after so long. Just watching myself choose where to put myself in writing - one of my journals, personal e-mail, Facebook, my Web site - is interesting. Why am I choosing to give such access to myself today. A question for our times: countering feelings of invisibility, inaudibility, irrelevance, impossibility. And isn't it as good a way as any to reach out to the dead? I problematize everything about myself. Since when? I made this pencil...

Liz Sweibel|Artist: August 2013

http://lizsweibel.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 11, 2013. Since mid-July I have remained day-to-day connected to fragments of our own. I've felt low and worried the last day-plus, agitated and sad, overly tired. I reflexively struggle against that - What's wrong with me? Over niche beer, watching people in the street and intermittently making notes for the exhibit. It's layers and layers and more layers. Tangents. It all just seems to make a return. Thursday, August 1, 2013. The work on the upcoming NurtureArt. Moments ago, I was sortin...

Liz Sweibel|Artist: June 2013

http://lizsweibel.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 12, 2013. A weekend I thought would be in the studio and in the company of friends has become mired in a despair that has more layers than I can sort through while in it. I am in a coffee shop, chased from home by the grinding noise of a garbage truck emptying the contents of my building's basement apartment, occupied until yesterday by our ex-superintendent and now abandoned. Is in heavy-duty gluing mode preparing for Crush. The September installation is the primary studio focus: researc...

Saturday, August 2, 2014. Moving the studio home, my attitude has ranged from true excitement (at being able to grow things for my work, since I'm here to water) to disappointment that I'm "back" (oy, the judgment in that word) in this situation and anxiety about getting my work off the ground (interesting word choice; climb a sprout? To just do it for the weeks it takes habit to form. Any negotiating of the decision changes it or requires me to muscle it back, so there can't be negotiation. And what if .
