A tribute to Kate McGarrigle.

I am honored, once again, to make a small contribution to raise funds and awareness to clear cell sarcoma, a rare cancer that affects connective tissue such as bone, muscle, nerves and cartilage.
Kate McGarrigle's good friend (and mine),ceramist Mae Mougin, asked me to help make silk screened towels for the last fundraiser that Kate attended at The Royal Albert Hall in London, Christmas 2009. Sadly, Kate succumbed to the sarcoma a few weeks later.
A year and a half later, Kate's son Rufus and daughter Martha have come together with other talented friends who wish to pay her homage and help find a cure and a way to help those with the disease.

Here, my "assistant" (son Jack's girlfriend) Caroline Kidder, helps me with the project in my dining room.
I am so glad to participate in such a wonderful event.

I want more.

That could mean so many things. But in this case I want to make more frames like this one, now available at SPACE in Bridgeport, CT. The print is of an adult film poster I found in Maine last year and gave to Tim for Valentines Day. Now it's time to share the love.
I promise to take more pictures (not with an iphone!) of all of the amazing pieces that artists have made and sell at this super groovy artists cooperative owned by entrepreneur Robert Rackear. I am in good company here with quilter Denyse Schmidt, ceramist Maeera Mougin who was recently featured on the Light Whisperer blog, among other local talents.
New beginnings for a new year! Stay posted to hear about the exciting upcoming events at this chic new venue. See you in "SPACE"!
