Summer 2014 Visit to Wormfarm


I visited Wormfarm for the first time since January with Jami, a friend and fellow artist-in-residence from last summer. It was a short visit but we got to say hello to Jay and Donna, and meet Lawton, a musician and current artist-in-residence, as well as this years Residency Manager, Loey, a flower essence therapist.


The Magical Barn-my home.


The swallow painting Pilar made last year. I thought it was fitting to photograph Pilar's favorite kitty, Jem under her work.


Dear Crookshanks.


I somehow forgot what a great friend he was to me last summer but he made sure I remembered.


Honey, lookin' a mess. I think she was molting.


Little Relly Belly (the black one) always looking so startled.


Dino.


Sunbathing!


This guy...Turkey the rooster was killed and eaten while this rooster remains...


We worked in the garden in the morning like old times.



Wormfarm from across the neighbors corn field.



Jami and Trouser.



Jami and I went foraging for black caps.


We visited Orange Cat Community Farm to see our friends, Laura, Katie and Little Anne (pictured above) and made delicious pizza with fresh ingredients from the farm!


Jami and I spent the night staring at the stars (and lighting sparklers with Lawton) and the day soaking up the sun (and meditating with Loey).


I am a Fartist. A farmer/artist. My friend, Nick gave me the title!



In the garden where we got our hands dirty every day last summer.


I was sent home with these beauties! I have only had one dozen eggs since I left Wormfarm last October. I don't see the point of eating eggs if they don't taste like these.


But not really...

Shades of Eggs finds a home!




I made this piece last spring while at Wormfarm. During the early part of June I'd spend each evening watching the sun go down adding more string to metal. The kittens, Crook and Jem would sit with me and play games with one another and I'd take in the fresh earthy smells. I am so grateful for these memories.

I am happy to say this piece has found itself a home with a lovely friend of mine. It sits above a piece from Project Onward that reminded my friend of her two chickens she once had, Winkie and Annie.

I enjoyed sewing this piece together outside in the sunshine!



A beautiful fall day.

Egg Diversity!


Page 9 of my 18 x 24 inch fabric book titled Farmer Kim and The Feathery Ladies is complete!


I finally got my sewing machine fixed but I did this entire page by hand.  I really enjoy sewing and drawing eggs.  So beautiful!

Fragility and Strength


Fragility and Strength, 18 x 22 inches, fabric, thread, copper tubing, 2013.








I usually make many different pieces of the same thing then decide how to connect them.  Here is an example of the many ways I thought to sew the circles.





Potluck Sunday!  I made a garlic scape pesto on broccoli and squash from the garden.
