Haley Morris-Cafiero Wait Watchers


Or is she a performer?  Or a conceptual artist?  Maybe the question should be “does it matter what we call her seeing as her work is so poignant?”  It’s a fair point, but I do think that her title is worth discussing.

trillium


When these three-petaled flowers come up, I come out to admire them.  Lorsque ces fleurs à trois pétales arrivent, je prends le temps de les admirer.

This dog knows how to live better than almost anyone I know.  I look to him as an example.

At the beginning of March, I visited the Big Apple but also DC.  In fact, the New York part of trip was extra credit.  I was actually flying east to talk at the Freedom to Connect conference in Washington.

Je ne me racle pas la gorge; je ne fronce pas les sourcils.  Je ne gronde pas les photographes, et je ne fais pas référence au droit d’auteur pour les intimider.  Je ne cherche pas à les mettre mal à l’aise.  Et je n’essaie surtout pas de les arrêter.

I don’t clear my throat or frown pointedly.  I don’t chide them or berate them or bring up copyright to intimidate them.  I don’t try to make them feel bad at all.  And I certainly don’t try to stop them.

Painting something besides portraits for Crime Against Nature, I was able to fall back on this effective way of composing an image.  Puisque je ne peignais pas des portraits pour Le crime contre nature, j’ai pu découvrir à nouveau cette façon efficace de composer une image.


Not just paintings of animals

Crime Against Nature is now up at Place, and the opening was both extremely educational and a total blast.
