Ramblings With Lois: June 2013
http://ramblingswithlois.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 20, 2013. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I'm never reading only one book at a time. Right now, along with the book about ancestral homes known to Virginia Woolf, I am reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. By Robert M. Pirsig. It's subtitle is An Inquiry into Values. It's listed in Wikipedia as a 1974 philosophical novel in which Pirsig "explores his Metaphysics of Quality". My late mother-in-law read it in the '90's. I never did read it, until now. I know I have ex...

Ramblings With Lois: August 2012
http://ramblingswithlois.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Even in the still-dark before dawn I could see the creek was full. We must have had an awful lot of rain last night, and we all slept through it. The creek is full, for now, which means that the Montour waterfall will be running, at least for today. And all the little falls along the roadway. Links to this post. Friday, August 24, 2012. I'm standing on the deck, watching the creek behind the house shrink day by day. Now, every morning, the dry line on the opposite "shore" (a cre...

Ramblings With Lois: September 2012
http://ramblingswithlois.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 29, 2012. UPDATE: Michael Schumacher will retire - again. Not a stellar season this year, but he's a real pro, and a great driver. Well, Lewis Hamilton is leaving McLaren. Next year he will drive for Mercedes. Michael Schumacher will leave Mercedes and so far we don't know what he will be doing. Perez will become McLaren's second driver, to Jensen Button. Now I'll know whether my loyalty is to Lewis, or to the McLaren mark. Links to this post. Friday, September 28, 2012. And we had in...

Ramblings With Lois: May 2012
http://ramblingswithlois.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2012. Eventually, the circuits of the labyrinth take me back to where I can see the man in the park again. He's sorting through things in the bag. It's not recycling pick-up day, when the gleaners come out early in the morning and pick out all the recyclables for which they can get money in return. Work is work. He's been up early to go to work, picking, collecting, and now sorting. For how much, I wonder? Links to this post. Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Spring in the City Wilderness. When I ...

Artist Statement | foundlings
https://foundlings.org/artist-statement
Objects of Some Unknown Purpose or History. I have been collecting stray bits and pieces of interesting objects for years. Not having anything in particular to do with them, they just lived with me. I have now started to give these stray objects a home and I called them Foundlings. With artificial mechanisms, parts of unknown objects and natural elements, they speak of some unknown purpose or history. Each with its own kind of suggestive dialog.

Objects of Some Unknown Purpose or History. Laquo; The Future. January 19, 2015. I usually have a pretty clear idea of what I want to do but not always an clear idea of how to do it. The first frame I made with the generous help of my friend Rande, turned out not to be thick enough to support all of the weight of this piece. This new frame is twice as thick and was put together with the help of another friend Dave. How will the piece turn out? Losing sight of what I had originally envisioned.

Objects of Some Unknown Purpose or History. Archives for category: Process. Laquo; Older Entries. August 3, 2016. A Matter of Balance. July 11, 2016. In this piece I am using a Christmas tree stand, a cultivator, rulers and an antique discus. How to get such diverse objects to live together? This balance is a kind of style and just as in some paintings you can see the hand of the artist, in my Foundlings you can see my hand through the balance I choose. April 26, 2016. Put so much time and effort into...
