You Are Innovation

So, you’ve been thinking to yourself, does this woman just play around with clothes all day long.

Nope.

I actually play around in the studio creating fabric designs and pattern on the best days.

Other days, I’m on the computer from what sometimes seems like morning to late night.

Occasionally I take time off and just stare into space.

This seems to get my creative juices flowing.

The fine art, card, yardage and pillow lines are more traditional textile art processes, less digital editing.

Karen Davis likes the original Parallel Universe piece.

I’m not sure this is the version Karen likes, but we’ll see.

Thoughts and Thinking

I read a post this morning from a musician who used crowd funding to sell her latest album.

She raised a million dollars.

Rewarded her supporters with innovative and engaging gifts related to the production of the album and planned  tour.

Then the chatter that accompanies successful use of technology and crowd pleasing came raining down on her head.

Wish that it would.

The process required a great deal of change and innovation, for the performer, her audience, her critics and supporters.

25,000 folks supported this campaign with contributions as small as $1.00.

What impressed me about the whole thing was the positive tone; the spirit of community; and the commitment to find new innovative, social, economic and creative ways to fund art.

The community center where I instruct an arts class is also in the process of change.

Change that hopefully will take this historic community where I live (Okieville) and it’s committed residents into a 21st century where the benefits of art, technology, and education will provide the ability to support healthy families and productive lives.

No New York Times or Huffington Post articles on Okieville, Garden Acres, yet.

The lives of descendants of the Great Depression Dust Bowl migration and new American immigrants are not front page news, unless it regards Obama and Congress.

Do change and innovation have priorities, limits?

Depends on how we look at the world.

How do you see it?

I hear your silent answers, questions, suggestions and comments.

I’m patient.
