Gotta love those women.

Today a woman from India came in and I got a chronological history lesson on Gandhi through out the hair cut. It was wonderfully enriching. I am ready to rent the movie Ghandi with Ben Kingsley. I love that these kinds of conversations. Then an artist who sculpts magnificent bronzes, Margaret Lozinski, came over and we went to lunch at Bowl cafe around the corner. they have a wonderful pasole soup that I have had two days in a row. I forced myself to have the carrot apple soup with corn bits.. It is a lovely unpretentious place to dine quietly and take photos by sitting at the table near the window which casts a soft warm light as it faces north. So the last two times I have been in there with friends we end up having a mini photo session with one another. Margaret spoke about her inherited land in Alberta Canada as she and others in the surrounding area try to stop the govt. letting utility companies come in and tear up trees to put up utility lines that would only cause more harm rather than into the ground.

A few days ago another client came in who is an architect with offices and home in the Herman Park region. Through conversation I decided she best interview French conceptual artist/sculptor Bernar Venet, on Jan 22 kpft.org since it is her neighborhood . So in a few days we will ride the kiddie train with her little boy and scout out the 8 sculptures installed in the surrounding Herman Park area. This has been a 4 yr endeavor between the Texas French Alliance for the Arts with mostly private funding and only less than 5% of special projects fund in the mayor's office. I could not really wrap my head around the concept of the work to do it justice. So it seemed apropos to have Rame Hruska from Intexure.com conduct the interview. I prefer to do things as a collective as it just has more meaning for me and brings more richness to the endeavor.
