Mensen!: So many, many things.
http://msmensen.blogspot.com/2013/02/so-many-many-things.html
So many, many things. This is a pencil sketch for an installation organized by Groundswell. My collaborators are a group of brilliant High School aged women, and our theme is women's health and empowerment. The piece will be installed at an OB-GYN. After doing a series of guided visualizations and tableaus exercises, the young women wrote reflections. These poses and the quote were by them. How do we defend ourselves? How do women protect our bodies? I recommend him, for sure. I forgot what I said. Desig...

Education is Our Right": mural at Park Slope Collegiate. I recently completed an interior mural in acrylic at Park Slope Collegiate High School. Through Groundswell Community Mural Projec. After discussing and sharing our research, the group worked on collaborative drawing exercises to reveal common themes and visual language that would form the foundation of our mural design. All of the text in the final mural is based off of quotes from the youth. Sketch depicting one of the youth artists. After combin...

Mensen!: There are so many things you can control, but you can't control the rain. (or, La Llorona at Fifteen)
http://msmensen.blogspot.com/2012/06/when-rain-comes-down-like-this-in.html
There are so many things you can control, but you can't control the rain. (or, La Llorona at Fifteen). When the rain comes down like this. I remember you, torrentially. Asphalt black and blue. One in another's lip locked. In a suburban housing development parking lot. We are children;. But whose children are we? Headlights gleam in puddles. I thought I was in love. Lost in Lust and Youth. Years later I heard you'd. Loved another girl- underage. Remember how you told me you'd raped. I was so young.

Mensen!: "And we're at Square One"
http://msmensen.blogspot.com/2013/05/step-by-step.html
And we're at Square One". Also, these flix were snagged off of my instagram account; when I get access to a printer again soon, I'll actually scan some of the sketches I've been working on.). Big Girls don't cry. Oh, and Good Grrls are seen and not heard. (never tell how much it hurts)". Also, I can't stop listening to this last James Blake record. The whole thing, in tone and lyrical content, basically sums up my life from the last 3 months or so. Wasted times and broken dreams. Violent colors so obscene.

Mensen!: DC Trip
http://msmensen.blogspot.com/2012/03/dc-trip.html
Spent the week in DC with lots of old and new friends, reconnecting to many different parts of my past-and-present life. Was hoping to see the cherry blossoms, but a surprise super-sprained ankle kept me off my feet for most of the trip. Before the injury, however, I had a relaxing afternoon painting with HKS 181. I'm pretty rusty but had a dope time anyway. Pre-gaming. (Flick by 181). 181 (UK) has to put on shades to protect his irises cos this ish buuuuurns. Kate Soko introduced me to a very quiet but ...
