denver/savannah blog


one day my blog will be denver ONLY! I am missing my fellow one stoners, my CATS (most of all), my house, and my life. I am having a (mostly) great time in the southeast, from hilton head to clearwater to tybee to savannah. I am living at tybee now and struggling with the feral cat colonies...i wish I could take them all home to live in luxury at my house. artimes & nicci would be super pissed at the addition of 12+ cats & kittens. all i can say is please be kind to our animal friends & SPAY & NEUTER your pets, your feral cats & dogs, & your community cats & dogs.

Getting Settled

This week marks 3 months since our giant move from Brooklyn to Kingston, Jamaica. It has been a whirlwind of activity to try to get settled and find a groove. Unfortunately, art has been put on the back burner until "the other stuff" gets sorted out. Our To Do List was enormous when we landed and included: enrolling Cy in school, getting Jomo settled in his job, finding a baby doctor, getting our shipment of personal goods from New York, immigration plus all the other stuff that comes generally with moving...like figuring out how to get around the new neighborhood to setting up utilities. I'm happy to report that there are really only two big things outstanding on our list...give birth to Baby Q and buy a car. Wednesday I go back to the Immigration Office for the last time to pick up my passport and all the documentation that says, I'm legal...phew! Cy is settled into his new school and has his citizenship certificate making him legit...and Jomo has already received payment for a freelance project he is working on and is happy in his new position. To say I've been preoccupied is an understatement! I'm happy to finally have our stuff which includes lots of art supplies and hopefully everything will have a more or less permanent home by the end of this weekend.

I've been thinking a lot about the new theme, Blue. The Blue Mountains that I see outside my windows are my inspiration. Once Baby Q arrives and the car, I will be making many trips into the mountains to gather materials. Coconut fiber is this amazing thing and I'm excited to get my hands on some! In the meantime, I have been knitting and looking through my art books. There are tons of ideas percolating. It's just a matter of time before there is something tangible to show!


Current project: booties for Baby Q



This is where the magic will eventually happen.


Our towers of art supplies, tools and hardware waiting to find a more permanent home.


Finished art hoping to one day be hung on the walls.

Long time no Blog....

Hey world, the One Stone has been taking a break. In the last 6 months all our members have been going through some major life changes & relocation's, all while putting together our last show. Since the show came down and we had our rehash session, we've been taking some time to ourselves. Whether it was to settle into our new surroundings, or to pack our lives for an international move, starting a business, or just taking the time to be with ourselves, we've been busy.

We are thinking some thoughts for our next show and hope to share with you our working processes a bit more. We'd also like to share our studio spaces and the other things we are working on outside the collective. So, hopefully you'll enjoy the ride with us, cause some things are brewing....

Bea's Installation at Cleo's will take on a whole new perspective if you take a trip inside, but we'll save that for you to see in person

Corey's Installation at Home & Planet has a beautiful presence when lit at night

Corey's piece, by day from across the road

On opening night Corey did a performance, adding to her piece "Woven" while telling stories and carrying on traditions for her archetype of Matriarch

Merissa's Installation "Strength, Warmth, Energy, Energy, Energy"

Merissa's piece is a mobile above, constantly rotating powered by a small motor

At night, the silk backdrop colors create a whole new sense of scale

The progression forward of the mobile, as it moves above the grounded stump, telling the story of Persephone, and the idea of balance

Notice the graceful movement of the bottom most arm of the mobile, as it glides past the towers on the stump, epitomizing the archetype of multi-tasker mother

Massie's piece, "Untitled" captures the ideal of Scitentist Warrior

The mixed media portrait above, on a found table top, the cabinet below, holing the ephemera of a life well lived

Massie's piece, tucked away on the wall

Meghan's portraits, hung at Marla Duran's

Two of the portraits on the right, using traditionally feminine craft techniques to represent the archetype of Women of War
