Love love this! I often think I must be incredibly ignorant when I read most ArtSpeak as I usually have no idea what the artist or curator is talking about. It’s both intimidating and frustrating. When you describe just about anything I’m right next to you visualizing it and am able to easily see it quite clearly. Just another reason why you resonate with artists and admirers of your talent from all over the world.

Thank you for the video tips - I’m ordering shale as soon as I’m done writing this. ❤️

Ah, I love everything about this post! Art speak (and FB) gives me that deep-down overall icky feeling in the pit of my stomach. You calling it out for what it is feels like one enormous breath of fresh air! I always seem to get just the right thing at just the right time when I hop on here:)

That makes me so happy, Julie. Some days when I hit the PUBLISH button, I just hold my breath and pray for the best

I actually got dizzy reading the first artspeak statement. While tears welled up in my heart and eyes with your second statement. (The good kine).. oh Rachel, you are my hero.

Thank you, Rachel! I look forward to following your progress and finding out tips as you work on the mosaic. And this social media phob thanks you for the access!

Yay! I can't wait to watch the whole process unfold. Both the "solutions" and the mosaic in question.

So agree on both fronts! Neither fb or artspeak has a place at my table. I do love your piece statement...you can feel the love for the work, that is has meaning to you and is looking to have meaning to others. 💗💗That is what art is about. Excited to watch your progress and pick up tips!
