As the title implies this is my first night at the Hopscotch House. I am here for a week long artist residency. There are three other artists here, one working in poetry, one a singer, and one a journalist writing an oral history. I am here to begin work on a series of quilts, mini-quilts of course, that use animal archetypes to illustrate my view of feminism. Eco-feminism especially since this is what seems to inspire me the most. The point of this residency for me is to focus for an entire week on myself, my art, and my spirituality. In the hopes I can go back refreshed.
This house is amazing, it is a large farmhouse it gorgeous and out in the woods. I've seen a few deer running about, of course that isn't any big news in Kentucky but I find them to be graceful in their skiddishness. Tomorrow in the morning we are going to go on a guided tour of the trails. Hopefully I'll be up in time because I forgot to bring my phone. I also forgot to bring the cord to my camera so now pictures until I get back.
