News from Mea Culpa

hi all
so, brief, not very coherent update on what eva, meghan and i have been up to.

one of the first things we decided to do was to address the separation that the end of the intensive brought to the three of us. we are sending one postcard a day to one other person in the group about what our day was like. slow down the pace of life by having to hand write something, contemplate on what we actually did that day, and also the almost giving away of a part of ourselves, that we keep no copy of, unlike all our digital media. also the idea that nyc in some way imposes itself onto your life and can impede even the best of intentions to get things accomplished - such as simply keeping in touch with friends. meghan and i are even writing to each other, which turned out to be a good thing since we don't see each other too much now a days....

also, we have expanded our water ideas to include the land that the water touches in the form of sand. we are brainstorming new ideas related to this, possibly doing something with some form of sand castles, something transient, impermanent, etc. we are hoping to submit a proposal to a show in dumbo that actually addresses these ideas city, water, coast and all the other things that the three of us are obsessed with.

that's all for now. m or e if i forgot anything, please correct me :)

in aus - possibly everywhere - when you go to the beach at night time, and dig your toe in the sand right where the waves pull back there are these tiny glowing crystals everywhere called phosphorescence. its actually a chemical reaction of some kind but i always thought it was the most magical thing, and still do. its beautiful and i will show you.

i miss you! xxx
