Project Explanation [show] [hide]

Dear Friends,

In light of the metaphorical darkness of these times, I wish to announce my latest, experimental art project:

Beginning March 19, and each day thereafter* (for as long/short as this disruption lasts), I will work for (at least) 19 minutes on a project*, and post an image of the visual evidence of that stage in the process for you to see (by 9 pm PDT)*, for free, here on my website: jenniferlanski.com/COVID19.

(*I hope: all plans subject to change in our rapidly shifting reality)

Though galleries, museums, and other cultural institutions are physically closed, creativity and cultural production continue, and can continue to be shared.

The images from previous days will be archived on the page, so you don’t need to worry if you do not visit the site each day, but of course you may!

Comments are always welcome. And as with any work in progress, please remember the adage: don’t judge a work until it’s finished! (And then don’t judge too harshly—this is a new direction, and I plan to experiment, learn, grow, and hopefully have a little fun in there somewhere.)

Feel free to share with anyone you think might, possibly, be interested.

– Jennifer

the day is officially over and still there is work to do (at least I am the only one still up tonight) ⋅ one of these days I will get some break, be able to sleep before the wee hours, maybe finish celebrating my birthday with that nice take-out lunch from Seed I’ve been putting off till things calmed down enough to be able to relax a little ⋅ and that first sigh that comes after drawing for however long—the one that shows the body and brain are starting to get back to regulation or integration or whatever good thing it was again that a sigh can indicate, maybe it was the parasympathetic nervous system kicking in (it’s too late to remember)—I notice that more these days, and it made me smile tonight ⋅ and the music of Alan Imberg is keeping me going through the witching hour ⋅ 6″ × 4 ½″ (I started it one way and rotated) ⋅ india ink on rice paper
