Pulled out my 9″ long, I-sized Tunisian Crochet hook this past week to expand my crochet repertoire. A bit of inexpensive Red Heart Yarn, my Encyclopedia of Crochet by Donna Kooler, and a few YouTube videos and I was set. It turned out to be fairly easy to do and I enjoyed seeing the stitchContinue reading “Study in Tunisian Crochet”

Decluttering Artwork
Nothing escapes my decluttering madness when it starts and my creative endeavors are no exception. Sometimes I’m lucky and all the materials can be fully reclaimed. Hours and hours went into the meter long wide scarf I was making from a super yummy wool/cashmere mix but in reality it just looked like a pile ofContinue reading “Decluttering Artwork”
How long did it take you to make that?
I am often asked this question when someone is viewing one of my projects, same as many other artists hear. We could all answer years, decades or even a lifetime we have spent honing our skills, learning our craft, debating which subject matter in which medium will touch the viewer most. Simply printing a singleContinue reading “How long did it take you to make that?”
In-Between Large Projects
I can finally see the floor of my tatami room studio again! Finishing one big project and before jumping into the next big projects(s), I’ve spent my time “spring” cleaning my studio. As a very visual person I like to see all my options at one time. All my pieces, all my mediums displayed within easyContinue reading “In-Between Large Projects”

電気蝶 オープンスタジオ
ー 電気蝶 ー 電子的な個性の逝去と処理。 金属と繊維を組み合わせた科学技術開拓のアート導入プロジェクト。 【日 時】土曜日, ７月 １２日 & 日曜日, ７月１３日 【会 場】Kotoriya Studio at Shiro Oni Studio: シロ・オニ・スタジオ: 〒370-1401 群馬県藤岡市鬼石529 アクセス: http://www.shirooni.com/ja/about/directions/ 【参加費】 無料 【詳 細】www.studiodeanna.com ー 電気蝶 ー 電子的な個性の逝去と処理。 金属と繊維を組み合わせた科学技術開拓のアート導入プロジェクト。 コンピュータが逝去した時に一体何が起きるのだろうか？ 私達に死が訪れた時、電子的な個性は一体どうなるのだろうか？ ラップトップの逝去の瞬間、電子蝶、を爆発的な光景で提供する事により、電子的な物性の解放を、蛍光色の毛糸を使用した鍵編み（手編み）の蝶のモチーフと、それを支える針金を使用した鍵編みのアクセントで実演した。 私達の社会の中で、小さな電子が引き続き普及する様に、社会も電子的な個性やその有毒な本体（この場合はラップトップ）の逝去と処理を、私達が愛するものの死を慎重に扱うのと同様に取り扱う必要がある。 鬼石祭囃子 http://www.shirooni.com/ja/events/onishi-festival/
