Leslie Iwai opened her show this morning for our school community. I brought in my first, fourth and seventh hour classes. I think the kids really enjoyed the experience. I ran home after work to walk Balt and then came back for her public opening which was also very well received. I got to see a few old art friends too.
Interstitial means pertaining to or situated in an interstice; located or happening in an intervening space. The show is like nothing we've had in our space, which I think is part of why so many are wowwed by it. At the evening opening someone asked me if I was ready for another show. It pained me to think that I was no where near feeling ready to have another show. I have not been in a very "art making" place lately. In many ways I am in a very interstitial place. I very much connected to Leslie's artowrk. Still I suppose I have wanted to focus on writing. I feel spread thin (not new) and know that the stress of doing too much is not an atmosphere to be artistic. Once Homecoming is over, it will be nice to slow down again and find space in my brain for creativity.
