Thank you for purchasing this Natural Art Fluxus kit. A Fluxkit (as it is also called) comes from the <a href="http://www.theartstory.org/movement-fluxus.htm#" target="_blank">Fluxus</a> movement that formed in the early to mid 1960s. To quote: "Former enemies, German, Japanese, and American artists, became friends and collaborators. Women artists, <a href="http://www.eai.org/artistTitles.htm?id=372" target="_blank">Shigeko Kubota</a> and <a href="http://www.yoko-ono.com/" target="_blank">Yoko Ono</a>, were able to create and work as equals in an art world that excluded women from other movements, because Fluxus was outside the mainstream art world and outside of the white cube. In such a movement, a Japanese woman who was and American expatriate, Yoko Ono, could find acceptance and a venue for her conceptual art works and performances. An African-American musician, <a href="http://www.emmett-williams.com/start.html" target="_blank">Emmett Williams</a>, could escape American racism in Fluxus. Fluxus was not placed in museums, was thought to be not object based and, therefore, not collectable, and for many decades was ignored by the art world and its critics." </div>

Fluxus kits were boxes, usually wooden, created by various Fluxus artists containing seemingly nonsensical objects. The goal of these kits were not to create an object of adoration, but to illicit an experience. I came to the idea of creating this Natural Art Fluxus kit after transcribing an interview with Fluxus artist <a href="http://www.29-95.com/art/story/who-gives-fluxus-camh-thats-who" target="_blank">Ben Patterson</a>. He is an African-American Fluxus artist currently living in Germany. He came back to the United States in 2010 for a retrospective at the <a href="http://www.camh.org/exhibitions/benjamin-patterson-born-state-fluxus" target="_blank">Contemporary Art Museum Houston</a>. The CAMH, a lovely museum which neighbors the Rothko Chapel, invited Patterson to show in the same city where in 1956 he, a classically trained double bassist, was rejected to play for the Houston Symphony solely on the basis of his skin color. The conductor, Leopold Stokowski, loved Patterson's playing, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1557130652" target="_blank">"but was unable to convince the board to hire</a><a href="http://www.29-95.com/art/story/camh-rediscovers-elusive-pioneer" target="_blank"> him"</a>. FYI: Patterson actually visited Macon in 2010 to lecture at <a href="http://www.masmacon.org/" target="_blank">Macon's Museum of Arts and Science</a>. The interview that I transcribed took place at La Dolci Vita Cafe. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
While transcribing the interview, I came to realize how the Fluxus Art movement deeply influenced my own art making process. I fell in love with this movement. I became inspired by Fluxus art. I realized how this movement helped influence the Feminist Art movement, Performance art, Conceptual art, Installation art, and Earth Art. So, how fitting would it be to create a Fluxus kit in homage to these artists who, by taking an immense risk in their time, made it possible and a bit easier for me to make the artwork I create today. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I started using natural materials as student back in the 90s. My desire to use natural objects came from various experiences with nature. I was raised to love and respect nature from both my family and several of my teachers, who taught ecology and advocated conservation. My first camping trip was when I was eight months old. I spent most summers up in the mountains of Colorado. The rocky landscape became my playground where creating playful installations became my solitude. The backyard of my childhood home was once, during summertime, a field of wheat where me and my childhood friends would create mazes and forts. As a teenager, I would spend many an afternoon hiking trails in and around Boulder, Co. During these hikes,especially during the Fall, I would collect leaves and seeds. I would also find myself adventuring out to climb and repel rocks, take moonlight hikes, cross-country skiing, and backpacking with friends and family who shared my love for nature. During college, I would spend the summers working for the environment: one year, as canvasser (I worked for CoPIRG canvassing neighborhoods for support for a three recycling bills); another year as a lab assistant (I worked for Colorado Division of Wildlife collecting samples of tissue from trout living in the Arkansas river); and also as an assistant to a field Biologist (I helped install aeration systems in ponds and took water samples). I would also climb the red rocks of <a href="http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3029&Itemid=1035" target="_blank">Settler's Park</a> with a book in hand and spend the afternoon reading, while intermittently taking, not so brief, moments of contemplation to look at the beautiful panoramic view of the city of Boulder. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
By making art with natural materials, I hope to create ephemeral work that cannot truly be owned...that becomes about the process of making art rather than the object...that is in constant flux. I also want my artwork to have a small ecological footprint. I have
often wondered how to and tried many times to create art that is both
non-toxic to myself and the environment. As a result, I have discovered
new materials that work wonderfully for art making. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For me, art making is a form of meditation. I am completely in the present moment when creating art, which makes me, like most people who experience the present moment, incredibly happy. Whether through the visual, the audial or the written language, artists have mimicked or collaborated with nature for centuries. Calling out to nature's golden mean to inspire works of art that either becomes venerated from one generation to the next or is simply experienced briefly by the generation it claims home to, expanding beautifully into the viewer's heart and mind only to contract back into nothingness from where it came. To bare witness to what nature has to offer </span><i style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">is</i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> the art and nature </span><i style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">is</i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> the true artist. There is a beauty in this world that should not be taken for granted. As Wendell Berry said, when talking about seeing a Yellow Throated Warbler, "My mind became beautiful by the sight of him. He had the beauty only of himself alive in the only moment of his life. He had upon him like a light the whole beauty of the living world that never dies." </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">QUICK NOTE: I will be posting some DIY natural art projects very soon. I will post links to this blog site on </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/katy.olmsted" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. "Friend" me on FB to keep up with the projects. Also, spend time in nature. I recommend walking Rosehill or Riverside Cemetery. It is so beautiful there...one of my favorite places here in Macon.</span>katyohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16967165860472266623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327516795973186462.post-56607687166015677812011-10-20T16:44:00.008-04:002012-09-04T13:34:25.734-04:00ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH FALL 2006 - ANGEL STATUES<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">I was asked to come back to St. Joseph's in the fall of 2006 to do a marble faux-finish on two angel statues. I wish I had better pictures of these statues. The finish on them is quite nice. I actually love how they turned out. </span></div>

Inside the kitchen they placed a wood fire pizza oven. The</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> oven can be seen by the public through the front window and the side ordering counter. </span><span style="font-family:arial;">There wasn't enough space in the kitchen to create a substantial base that would be bigger than the top part or to tile around the entire oven.
