Busy Day.

My Goodness.  I am not even sure what day it is.  I just finished a workshop in the Studio and the work was not only beautifully rendered, but the writing is incredible.  I continue to be stunned by the honesty and depth at which people are sharing their stories.

I haven't even finished reading all the writings from the Impact NW workshop from Monday.  Luckily Sam reads fluent Spanish and will translate for me.  Although I think I want to keep the original Spanish with the translation when we print.  It seems more honest somehow.

This morning Sam did an incredible job on her senior lecture and the display of ACMA student 'panes' in the first window was so cool to see.  The kids even went up and re-arranged them in the window after the lecture.  There were more paintings than spaces in the window, so it was cool to see the window change as different 'panes' were switched out and reorganized.  This is only the beginning.

Cedar House Media really came through at the last minute and printed a booklet with all the response writings accompanying photos of the paintings.  Sam was able to hand out copies for all the ACMA paintings/writings in full color.  Again, this is just the beginning.  To have a tangible booklet makes me realize how powerful a full, professionally done book will be if we can pull it together.
