Sid the bus is buried under a few feet of snow (photos coming soon), but Nourish(meant) is already looking toward Spring.  During Earth Week, about the third week in April, I will be exhibiting work as part of the Nourish(meant) project in my thesis art show, and I’m hard at work preparing.  I’m currently laboring over a Nourish(meant) recipe book, which I felt is a gentler way to grow a movement than a manifesto.  The book will feature images from the summer’s trip, stories, quotes, instructions, diagrams, questions, and of course recipes!  If you have a recipe, or really any of these things, that you’d like to see included, please get in touch.  I’ll be using inkjet prints, different dyeing and lamination techniques, screenprints, and collage.  I’m hoping to make ten copies (an edition of ten, for you printmakers)- which may not sound like much, but it’s a lot of work!  I spent a good two hours today just tearing paper to the right size.

Also in the works are three events that Nourish(meant) will be hosting in the coming month with three different Charlottesville communities.  These food-meal-community-bus events will be documented, and with any luck I’ll make some prints that will go into some handmade frames on the wall.

Lauren and Mia, the two other women showing their work with me, and I are also collaborating on a Nest:  a reading corner, a shared space, among other things.

But first, getting the bus out of the snow.
