RenoTransformation: Week 2 – Minimalist Living Experiment Begins

The house is barely recognizable! To transform first you must strip out what was.

Building a Writing Practice – Week 7

Visual Arts and Practice were the two key themes this week. I painted, made a collage, watched MOMA’s Virtual Views on photography and the art of Yayoi Kusama, took photographs of things in my house, and viewed dozens of Van Gogh-inspired art projects on Instagram.
