this is lacoste

oh boy. first of all, i have been living in lacoste, france, for the past 2 months as a part of my graduate studies (m.a. in painting). I am currently enrolled at savannah college of art and design, and they have a satellite campus here in a medieval village. there are maybe 200 people living here, and it is kilometers away from any type of convenience. but it is beautiful! i can't go into too many details in a concise blog, but know that it has been an amazing experience that i will cherish always. mostly i want to share the art i made here with you.

i apologize this blog is backwards, the blogger is not functioning the way i am used to! perhaps because it is currently french.

love,
timi

"Studio" at The Tokyo

This is the WAAAAYYYYYYY too small desk upon which I cram sewing machine and all metal working materials.

This is my current messings arounds.
I have to get ready to go into the city to do some supply shopping. Part 2 of "Studio" at the Tokyo is yet to come....

Wow!

Okay, so here it is, my new home. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I live here now. Well, that is as long as I get all my immigration papers in order...but assuming that I will and I do, then, wow, yeah this is home. And yes, those are mountains you see in the background.

Kingston is a working harbor and yes, those are more mountains in the background with white fluffy clouds hanging over them. There are lots of big ships and little boats that dot the waters around Kingston. So no, no white sandy beaches like most would picture when thinking of a tropical island. But they are not far. In fact nothing is truly far on an island that measures 146 mi (235 km) long and 35 mi (56 km) wide! There are still adjustments to be made and more settling in to do, but I just thought I would drop a quick line to say, "Greetings! I'm here, I'm well and I'm thinking about art and all the lovely OSC ladies back in the states!" I miss you and will write more soon. In the meantime, you can catch me blogging about the settling-in process here.

Peace, wellness and creativity...

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....

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
