Unbound

Have I told you that #1 Son lives in Asheville NC now?

We read a book about Judith Scott called Unbound in 3rdLand this week.  I had never heard of her before, but now I'm a wee bit obsessed.  She could neither hear nor speak.  She had Down Syndrome.  She was institutionalized for 35 years, separated from her twin. When she moved to California  to live near her twin at last, she spent her days at the Creative Growth Art Center.  Drawn to fiber arts, she created non stop for the next 20 years. Her work became famous and is in museums all over the world. And now for the good part.... There's a Judith Scott exhibit.  In Baltimore. Right NOW.  If you feel like it, you should go to Baltimore to see this exhibit. 

 I am still mad at Oakland because of this summer's smashing and grabbing, but I have to give that city a big fat 5 on the Fist to 5 for being home to 50 years of Creative Growth at the CGArt Center.
