<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back in late 2012, I took Goodwill's Day Habilitation to the National Czech and Slovak Museum's Alphonse Mucha exhibition (ended Dec 31st, 2012). I toured the group through the largest collection outside of Europe. It was a wonderful experience to not only act as tour guide, but to also connect with my personal story relating to the Czech lands. Mucha used a lot of folk details in his work. The exhibition explored the connection of folk dress to the art pieces along with showcasing the process behind his work (utilizing models to stand in for the layout to his compositions). I used this time to show my work as the model to explore and connect to various forms and motifs. I pointed at various parts of my folk dress and had them relate to what was seen in Mucha's work. The discussion went further into how the symbols served as inspiration and how they personally connected to them. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Everyone had a wonderful day at the NCSML with loads of inspiration and understanding of another culture. There will be more explorations at this museum along with other institutions. This leads into what I have been working on over the past few months. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Welcome to my studio - </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After I finish a project and move on to the next, I take time to re-explore my sketchbooks. I sketch quite a bit, but I'm drawn to the written word portion of my process. I think words are equally as important as sketches - to me, it is the same. I can visualize through my words exactly what I want to create for LADYFITS. The above image captures how my process becomes a composition. Every form of the process is an art form. I lay out my thoughts in a composition......</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Notes: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 - Vaclav Havel books - Since his death in December, I've been on a marathon of re-reading his books. He was always a great inspiration to my work and how I can affect my community. H</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is writing + character keeps me pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Truly, he was a great soul.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 - I always have this book near me in studio. It is by far my favorite textile book on Czech folk dress + art. The way this author compiled this book is perfection - it is not just a museum text on Czech textile art. Rather, he allowed the people, images, and their work speak to the viewer thru simple layouts. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The image pictured is the main inspiration of my work. It embodies beauty in cultural expression + this woman has an air about her on the page (such power).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 - Research/Inspiration - Cesky Lid (Czech People) - 1950's publications found in Czech Village, Cedar Rapids, IA - The images on wood art as something functional inspired me to examine wood product at Goodwill as a resource.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 - I always keep a sketch book near me at all times of the day. To me, not one thought or idea is bad - which means I have quite the collection of sketchbooks :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been sketching + writing a lot about my art practice. I was mainly trained in fiber arts, painting and mixed media. Most of my focus has been heavily on textiles, so I started to re-look at ways to communicate with the resources at Goodwill for other forms of art making. I'm allowing myself to get back into my rhythm of painting + creating more mixed media pieces. It is such a benefit to have a place like Goodwill to start a dialogue of art making through the materials, learning to utilize them in different ways. I'm sure most would not head to Goodwill specifically for art supplies. I take on this challenge to find ways to create art supplies through unconventional resources. So here's the beginning to my art supplies........</span><br />

</div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">From the beginning to the everyday life of the people, folk art is tied to a moment. It gives life a certain rhythm through ritual and ceremony, ranging from weddings, the end of harvest to the completion of work. The Czech & Slovak people had a highly developed sense of this form; they liked to use ceremonies to accentuate the rhythm of their life. </span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">This installation serves as a rhythm to my life in this community, creating work that encompasses a moment through materials found in a thrift store. These materials are from the people of the community through their donations to Goodwill. The objects help to tell my rhythm as well as theirs.</span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Like most of my work, it begins with a single object that I find in Goodwill. This time it was a roll of reed material. I connected this object to the inspirational ritual of laying sand down in forms of folk motifs. This inspirational discovery was image based with little explanation as to why Czechs/Slovaks perform this ritual, so I gathered my own thoughts. </span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The ritual of laying sand seems to be so much a part of their human nature to create these learned designs in the environment around them. There is no need for a pattern to the motifs. Rather, it is purely a form of cultural expression.</span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I performed my own version of the ritual within the space given to me at the Cherry building in New Bohemia (<a href="http://newboczech.info/">New Bohemia/Czech Village</a>). I created motifs through the space, utilizing the reed material and my own learned expression of Czech forms. These forms were done on the spot, allowing people to walk through the space of creation. It opened dialogue with people regarding their community, culture, thrift, and forms of artistic expression. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I grew up in the world of comic books, appreciating the craft + witnessing the process. I've always wanted to connect my world of LADYFITS to comics. I decided to try comic cell layouts for my newsletters with the possibility of future issues to be a storyline of my process + the characters (thrift objects) that come into play. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For now, you can enjoy the simplicity of visual expressions in comic cell layouts, an homage to "Little Nemo in Slumberland" (started in the The New York Herald in 1905) - one of my favorite newspaper comics that stretched the reality of the world with a childlike nature + providing a look into the awe-inspiring craft of a comic artist's ability to bring so much energy into a small rectangular space. The color patterning of this comic inspires the palette I choose for LADYFITS, blurring the details, shapes + textures into a whole composition. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I enjoy heavy amounts of detail work. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It brings you closer into this world to appreciate the materials it is made up of.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can pick-up the latest issue of LADYFITS as the "Scarecrow of the Housewares Dept" at your local Goodwill store in the Cedar Rapids + Marion areas (issue is out on Friday, Oct. 28th). </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last night's <a href="http://www.craftinamerica.org/tvseries/story_2173.php">Craft in America</a> series focused on "Family". I watched this episode, surrounded by objects from my own family of makers. Both my home + studio is surrounded by the work of my Grandfather, who built and designed everything from the chair I sit in to the work table I create LADYFITS upon. I'm fortunate to live + work in a space that witnessed my family's generation of creatives. Great energy fills these spaces almost like creative ghosts of past projects. I may not understand fully the craft behind woodworking, but I admire the objects that surround me. I can't ask my Grandfather questions about his woodworking process. Instead, I work around connecting his sketches, lists, placeholders in books, and stories from people. It's a separate journey I take as I work to understand a portion of my Family craft, living among the space of its history.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This episode allowed the viewer to follow various families of makers. It also gave a time for the viewer to reflect on their own generational craft and how it communicates to them. For me, this episode provided a reflection time with my craft family; their roots, heritage and the community that encompassed it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">LADYFITS always communicates back to my heritage in some way:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Czech + Cedar Rapidian + Iowan + Maker + Collector + Historian.....</span></div>

Hello, world! It has been a crazy past few months....maybe all summer. I've had the opportunity to be in studio working on installations, furthering some of my thoughts as an artist in this community. Of course this is all thanks to Goodwill of the Heartland. I'm really blessed to be with an organization like this one. I find new things each day about their work, which inspires me to keep pushing. I urge everyone to look at the work of Goodwill. Donate! It's incredible to see where your donations go and how they help people. If it wasn't for someone donating a bed frame+springs, I wouldn't have created an embroidery installation. Don't worry I will update everyone on this bed frame installation. It was a success, opening up dialogue between materials, resourceful expression and culture. </div>
