This blogspot one has an extensive archive and I will keep it online, but I'm pretty stoked on my new blog so check it out. I will make it easy for you. blog blog blog. blog.

My Next Show | COME!

Some words:

In her current show, Invisible Thread, Rubi confronts the variety of her cast of subjects head on through the imposition of technical and compositional parameters. The criteria are simple: all images in the group were shot on her favorite camera, a 1950, square format Rolleiflex and are all printed the same size; also, every image contains a strong horizontal line across the frame. Displayed, the images are justified according to their individual horizon line, rather than the top, bottom, or center of the frame The effect of these parameters simplifies and connects a seemingly disparate group of images, in effort to show their common provenance: Rubi's eye. Another notion that emerged from this specific undertaking is the significance of horizons in the way we process, regard, and experience the world. It is how we arrange our written language, it is how we show chronologies, it is what happens when two arms reach for each other, it is what infinity looks like.

Show opening is April 25th , 7-10pm , Mollusk SF (Rubies peforming , Miel cooking)

Find the Glow

Fire pit out on a ranch here in Marfa. Here you can breath well.

Marfa after Mexico

I have so many stories from my last chapter in Mexico, that I have to wait to post some nug photos because it will take some tiiiiiime and a circle around the sun before I can share those with you all. But let's skip ahead to the NOW. I am back in Marfa enjoying the sweeping lands and the folks. Here to work on "west Paris" (or little green roofed white adobe house) and finish the second half of the material for my upcoming show at Mollusk, "Invisible Thread". Here I will shoot desert scapes and feelings that are not coastal in any way. Time to tie it all together.

Brazil Show

Last month was the Santos Surf Art II in Brazil. I was honored to be part of the show. This show was the inaugural show of the new art museum pictured here. They featured an excerpt from my New York show, Coast (feather & work adjacent).YAY. Poster master, Nat Russell, created the poster for the show. Jair, the curator, has more info here.

Boa Buddy

Check out the baby Boa that came to visit us today! Every day is an adventure around here. That is why I love it soooooooo

Mexican Time

Just saw the new palapa get built by master palapa builders. Such a strong, natural, and simple way to make a roof that looks amazing. SO cool.

Also been learning mega recipes from Alicia, our housekeeper. Tamales, Sopes, Chaya Agua Fresca, Jamaica, and more to come.

Feeling slow.

Inspired.

Creating 'home' in so many places feels wierd. I can't believe how fast 2008 went by.

Bucerias Carnival

Haven't been outside the Casa too much, so I've been itching to go into town a bit more to get into the coastal vibes of this area. So we went to Bucerias the other night and went to the town fair. Had such a nice time being around lively sidewalks full of kids and grub, cotton candy and balloons, inflatable castles and punchy polka music. We were honored to meet a Huichol artist. He told us many mythical stories about his work.

Off to Marfa. Dreaming of Sardinia.

Adrian and I are driving to Marfa in the morning. We will complete phase II of the re-design project. Walls will be knocked down, some floors will be re-finished, and furniture will be made.

Today I began working on some new photos from my Honeymoon. These are a few from Sardinia, Tuscany and Versailles. All shot on the Rollei. More soon... I promise. Been on a bit of a blog block lately.
