A lot of her work is cooler than I had assumed (for some reason). More than yonic flowers, a lot of really interesting surrealist pieces.

Crazy shit!! Ludicrously intricate paintings that are often about how human geographies are formed; you could look at these for hours and hours and hours… a good chunk her work is in the MoMA so if y’all are around there and haven’t seen her stuff… I mean…

I will have to revisit on my own one day as I didn‘t get to linger as much as I’d like (Rachel Weiss was standing in front of a wall I wanted to stand in front of for a long time.)
The work is demanding, alluring, and felt somewhat mystical to me. I don’t know much at all about this artist yet, but if you like abstract painting, I recommend a visit.

The majority of art in my house is outsider art. Self taught work makes me believe in art, whereas most contemporary work makes me question that belief. You can get affordable, wonderful work from Creativity Explored in San Francisco. They will ship from their online store, but the best is to go there in person. You can flip through thousands of works in the flat files and you can meet the artists. They also have ceramics. Some iconic outsider artists that I love - for all of you God posters, look into B.F. Perkins. Mose Tolliver paintings on wood are true genius. Marcia Weber Art Objects is a good source - also a great place to visit in person. My husband and I did a road trip to her gallery in Alabama and started in New Orleans - take the back roads not the main highways, it’s longer but it's worth it. Speaking of New Orleans, it's a great place to look for Hatian vodou flags - sequined, hauntingly beautiful and mysterious.

Life gets exponentially better when you become entrenched in your city’s local music scene. Obviously, I’m absolutely spoiled that for me that’s Montreal, which I unbiased truly believe has one of the best independent scenes in North America. But, you save money when some of your fave bands play for $10-$20. Through COVID, and sadly too long after, I was just doing my radio show in this loner little bubble, not connecting with the people whose music I was playing, feeling super creatively stifled. But, since pushing myself out of the house, I’ve felt like part of actual community. Like you can go to a show alone and I promise someone will talk to you and you can make a friend!! Also, getting to turn your friends onto small acts is so fun. Anyways, stan HAWA B.
