One of the first things Cyndi made after suddenly transferring to art school. [models: merl &g] Not as nostalgic as she used to be, but nothing to think about but memories while in the hospital. For "if your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is no poverty and no poor, indifferent place. And even if you found yourself in some prison, whose walls let in none of the world's sound - wouldn't you still have your childhood, that jewel beyond all price, that treasure house of memories?" -rilke
Back to the free (?) world, Cyndi continues low-stim adult coloring with ugly flowers (anything goes). 
 [A Look at Art. Get Paid. critic takes in a room at the RISD Museum. Photo by Jay Simple]Look at Art. Get Paid. has officially embarked on a six-month residency as part of this year's Philadelphia Area Creative Collaborative!
After an six-hour meeting with our team–Political Economist Craig Borowiak, filmmaker John Muse, and Philadelphia Area Coorperative Alliance director Jamila Medley– we now have a (still abstract) abstract.
'After Work: Seeing Race in Grassroots Economies' brings together local cooperatives, social practice artists, and Haverford faculty and students in Political Science and Visual Studies to map and unpack how the aesthetics, practices, and structures of institutions reinforce white supremacy–in spite of stated commitments to racial and economic justice. The burden of educating white-led, multiracial organizations about racialized practices typically falls on people of color, who often do this labor outside the workday without recognition or pay. What would it look like if this labor were clocked and paid– even for just a day? How might such interventions change how white-led organizations "see" race and racial injustice? Could staged reconfigurations of power and money lead to sustained shifts? 'After Work' looks to the myriad ways that communities of color have held, do hold, and can hold the institutions that serve them accountable to imagine and prototype more just configurations of money and power.

CODY ROSSA friend recently sent me an image of a vending machine she found on Craigslist while searching for soft serve machines. I immediately recognized the design of the vending machine's front panel as the same as that from the set of Grey's Anatomy's cafeteria—an oversaturated image of a waterfall in a lush forest . . . ⁘ ᴄᴀᴛʜᴇᴅʀᴀʟ, a public bathroom on your cell phone, is nearing completion.

And working on Wedding Cake House, which is endless and sometimes involves stumps and tree roots - mushrooms accidentally growing inside, disappearing pumpkins.
