HAND HELD



Once, our hands were tools. Grabbing twigs….twisting, turning tight. Imprints on clay cave walls were a message.  Today, we have the ability to use our hands to decorate, create, and connect. While our thumbs might evolve into nicely knobbed cell phone gadgets, we have the power to change that. There is time to still use our hands to find our own gifted voices and to be completely wired into our community, in the most primal analog way. Humans are wired to touch, our hands long to press and reveal the texture of experience embedded within.

I'm honored to be a 2014 artist resident at VALA Eastside. VALA's effort to promote community through art inspires me deeply. Redmond continues to be built up and the vertical pace continues. VALA's art center has taken root and has provided a much needed anchor for creative connection. My residency at VALA is about offering my passion for art-making to my community. This is our space. Let’s take it over! I hope you are ready to speak your mind about how technology and art can unite…..or are they oil & water? You decide. Let’s make. And then talk. And then make!
