I want to see the beauty in admitting I’m wrong. I want to help others do this, so we can have better conversations. See theCuriousProject.org to learn about the next chapter of the Curious Scroll. This 170 foot scroll with the marks of people outside the 2016 Republican and Democratic conventions will get thicker. As we paint draw and collage, I will ask what is beautiful to you? What is ugly to you? Have you ever found the beauty and something ugly? Have you ever insisted that you are right While disagreeing with someone you love and push them away? I have and I’ve regretted it. Would it be OK if you share a strong political opinion and we disagree? Now, before the upcoming November elections the Curious Scroll and short documentary in Santa Cruz will be a powerful template for the next chapter of the Curious Scroll in swing states before the 2020 elections. Thanks to Isaiah Williams for the Scroll structure and to @artscouncilsc for the seed grant to kickstart this chapter in SantaCruz #socialpracticeart #sociallyengagedart #shortdocumentary #shortdocs #artintervention #theoppositeofhate #wereallinthistogether (at Santa Cruz, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFyyezB5HE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hauvhioemj0x

Can you find the mark that expresses something from the thread of your inside guts? Can the thread respond to the terror, the fear, the hopelessness, the despair and feel love for all of it? And keep making more and more, finding a way to to live and give and make it right, even if it really feels and seems impossible? #videosketch #videojournal #sketchvideo #markmaking #threadstories

@michaelgandolfi2010 ‘s The garden of Cosmic Speculation, part 1 @cabrillofestival conducted by @cristian.macelaru Through my water soluble pencils and crayons into diverse landscapes that can move through lifetimes. His work is on going exploration of a huge garden in Scotland. So often when I Peyton Drive in so many different locations collecting musical notes in the visual landscape, enjoying the rhythms of groups of people who have no idea that they are dancing. May ya all enjoy our growing flowering and our withering and returning. (at Santa Cruz, California)
