Feeling this one today: ⠀"We are most happy when we are moving forward toward something that is not yet attained. This feeling also extends to physical motion in space… we are happier in a car because we are moving forward towards an identifiable and attainable goal." (Prototype for Billboard at A-Z West- 'These Things I Know for Sure' #14, 2011)

This blueberry turns 13 today. What an an incredible and amazing journey… Happy Birthday @mettdodge – I love you!

Flashback to the the Milwaukee Art Museum who helped realize the Wagon Stations. They were on exhibit for a year in the Museum's extention built by Santiago Calatrava (back when it was brand new) – before being shipped to A-Z West. Thank you Milwaukee Art Museum! (so many really great artists and artist-run spaces in Milwaukee too)

Desert truck at the Oregon Coast (never imagined we would miss the heat! Heading inland today…)

Pretty much my all time favorite bathing situation – at Salmon Creek Farm

Waking up in Cedar cabin at Salmon Creek Farm – so many new developments since our last trip here… Thank you @fritzhaeg_salmoncreekfarm for another thought provoking visit – and for the great dinnertime conversations!

Another A-Z West Studio weaving – I'm so into these weird tufted pieces by @lourolf ! ⠀

Spent all week getting the truck ready (new awning, steam-cleaned the carpeted bed-liner, washed everything inside and out, new wipers) and now we are finally on the road getting it dusty and dirty all over again 🖤.

Hot, dry, dusty – but deeply enjoying the supreme solitude with everything here closed down for the summer. Having much needed alone time pretty much outweighs any of the negatives.

A new batch of A-Z West studio weavings are headed to the Whitney Museum shop including this one by @elenadaojingyu . The studio weavings help support our collective resources at A-Z West and generate income for artists local to the High Desert, where employment and means of financial support are limited.⠀⠀
