My God, four years!"</p><p>—Dr. Lutkin, <i><a href="http://www.abitterpill2swallow.com" target="_blank">A Bitter Pill to Swallow</a></i></p><p><br /></p><p>It's been four years, and my soul is weary. I am so tired of the world. For the past few years I have been accused of "living in fear" when really I was living in a constant state of rage. And now I feel nothing but exhaustion and despair.</p><p>Since it's an election year, politicians keep asking, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" I don't think anyone on either side would like my answer. Both Trump and Biden and their respective administrations are to blame for the mess we're in, whether the media and the general public want to acknowledge it or not. Mainstream publications minimize the danger of pandemic the same way they minimized the danger of Trump, and they fail to hold Biden accountable for his broken campaign promises the same way that they fail to inform the public about how many people are still dying of COVID. <br /></p><p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1259228398615846913" target="_blank"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9fWbpbB4MorOy4IOOtb7BvwY0EWahukbmIdQ7NXdEIi6YTy86hn9TYKgbffE_2RqAJaRNxqMrilMBDslGUgms-ekgkNVaVSE7umtyqDmzsqfkFya1jrXCOqQI9NMEy0-asbor9uBVp8Ev8VX5WLrKXTQ4YkyQFzMhTVhhBKmBy6egD4VakfH4dsYwK8/s16000/20240217_142639.jpg" width="500" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1259228398615846913" target="_blank">One of many broken campaign promises from 2020<br /></a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p></p><p>Since 2020, I've made an effort to learn as much about COVID as I can, and I never stopped studying. That's why I know that COVID is airborne, you don't want to catch it multiple times, it lingers in the air for hours, one-way masking isn't enough, ventilation is extremely important, the current vaccines are only halfway effective, the virus keeps on mutating, you can still catch it outside, and that immunity to it doesn't even last that long! But few people I speak to in person are interested in any of these facts.<br /></p><p> I feel like a prophet of doom who no one wants to listen to. I am a voice crying out in the wilderness. It seems like no one wants to hear. I try to share what I've learned about COVID and the information is
met with hostility, indifference, or silence. It's easier to just
withdraw from all the unmasked people in my life and be alone. I feel a
profound sense of alienation and isolation, as though I don't live in a
shared reality with anyone else. Other people are around me and not with
me, it seems. At some points I have even begun to cynically wonder, <i>what do they have to offer me besides COVID?</i></p><p>Late
last spring, I discovered some online communities of people who are
still taking precautions. Talking to them has been the only antidote to
the loneliness of being a lone masker in so many of the places I go. Since
then, I've met people from all over the world of all ages and walks of
life who are trying to protect themselves and others from COVID. Many
are severely immunocompromised and have been increasingly shut out of
public life as protective measures like mask mandates and vaccine
requirements have been rolled back. Many of them can't go to work, or
travel, or go grocery shopping now. Some have long COVID and are
rightfully concerned that another infection will make their health
problems even worse. Their conditions include sickle cell anemia,
multiple sclerosis, diabetes, cancer, and immune deficiencies. Many of
them had been thriving despite their illnesses pre-pandemic, but now
because of everyone else's selfishness, they have no choice but to
hunker down at home for their own safety, or that of the vulnerable
children or other loved ones in their households. For many it has meant
<a href="https://justinebarron.medium.com/the-other-friends-lost-to-covid-5b1b17be8e90" target="_blank">the loss of livelihoods, hobbies, and human connection</a>. If you're not
part of these communities, you probably have no idea how much those
disabled by COVID or those who are at high risk of horrible outcomes
have lost because of this. Careers, educational opportunities,
relationships... These are the people who have been flippantly told
"just stay home" over and over again by jerks on the internet. And do
reporters interview them when protective measures get rolled back? Of
course not. They're too busy interviewing the feckless fools who
protested against mask mandates, just like they went out of their way to
center the opinions of racist Trump supporters hanging out in diners.
Virtual communities are all high-risk people have left, so they have
built small but thriving parallel universes while the rest of the world
ignores them.</p><p>But as I said, these communities are small, so small
that they are not conducive to finding my ideal clients, art
collectors, or a romantic partner. There have even been times when I've
felt like the only interest that we have in common is our COVID caution.
As much I appreciate my new virtual connections, I'm missing out on so
much by taking precautions that others no longer will. Sometimes it can
feel like I've given up on an ocean of opportunities to go live in a
safe little fishbowl. I have been forced to rely on the internet, where
my art is rarely seen by the right people. The internet, whose
algorithms are always <a href="https://tiffanygholar.blogspot.com/2024/02/my-discontent-with-content.html" target="_blank">asking too much of me</a>. And as I mentioned <a href="https://tiffanygholar.blogspot.com/2023/10/get-art-not-covid.html" target="_blank">in a previous post</a>,
when I've opened my studio and required masking (and provided beautiful
masks), half the potential visitors get an attitude and leave. And why?
Because most art spaces are run by people who take no mitigations at
all, and most of the interior design trade shows have policies like

Because every time I read new research about what the virus can do, my first thought is, <i>I have enough problems. I don't need this</i>. So many of my dreams have never come true and I would prefer not to
add to my preexisting miseries. I am concerned about the toll that long
COVID would take on my life, not just physically and emotionally, but financially. My fields of interest are precarious enough as it is.</p><p>I have read too many horror stories at this point. All it takes is one time. All it takes is one person. <br /></p><p>One celebratory birthday meal in a restaurant. <br />One opening reception in a poorly-ventilated gallery. <br />One crowded flight. <br />One champagne toast in a busy art fair booth. <br />One small dinner party.<br />One hair appointment.<br />One family member who didn't show any symptoms.<br />One medical appointment with careless doctors and nurses.<br />One car ride with a friend.<br />One office party in a crowded conference room.<br />And it's a wrap. <br />I have seen too much now. I know too much now. And I can't let my guard down now.</p><p>I also can't let my guard down because I now know too much about the damage the virus can do. It's an insidious virus that deceptively appears to be a cold but causes so much damage covertly. Unlike pandemic diseases in movies and TV shows, the drama of the suffering COVID-19 causes happens silently at first, behind the scenes later. It can cause <a href="https://www.heart.org/en/news/2024/01/16/how-covid-19-affects-your-heart-brain-and-other-organs" target="_blank">organ damage</a>, <a href="https://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/news/20230627/covid-could-impair-mens-sperm-for-months-study" target="_blank">infertility</a>, <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-32211-5" target="_blank">impotence</a>, <a href="https://www.contemporaryobgyn.net/view/covid-19-infection-associated-with-fetal-demise" target="_blank">miscarriages</a>, <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/covid-maternity-stillbirth-vaccines-pregnancy" target="_blank">stillbirths</a>, <a href="https://au.news.yahoo.com/covid-accelerates-zombie-cells-in-the-brain-australian-study-finds-232113673.html" target="_blank">premature aging</a>, and it can <a href="https://time.com/6265510/covid-19-weaken-immune-system/" target="_blank">wreck the immune system</a>. It makes existing health problems worse.</p><p>A recent, catastrophic example of that was laid bare in the circumstances surrounding the death of one of my favorite mutuals on Twitter, <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shafiqah_Hudson" target="_blank">Shafiqah Hudson</a></b>, aka Fiqah, aka @sassycrass. When she wasn't <a href="https://slate.com/technology/2019/04/black-feminists-alt-right-twitter-gamergate.html" target="_blank">sounding the alarm about fake accounts wreaking havoc on social media</a> or sharing witty remarks and insightful social commentary, she was very open about her health issues. She was already suffering from some serious ailments and getting infected with COVID 3 times made everything worse. Her second infection led to kidney failure. She already was dealing with heart failure. She died tried to crowdfund for medical care and housing. She <a href="https://twitter.com/sassycrass/status/1740297745842524558?t=67aKY1cgWP_AVfxd5MHGNQ&s=19" target="_blank">caught COVID for the third time in the hospital</a>. Not just kidney failure and heart failure but a societal failure all contributed to her demise. </p><p>Internet trolls would write her off as just another statistic and one even called her a hypochondriac in response to a memorial I posted (before I blocked that jerk and hid their comment). Shafiqah was just one of the many amazing people who was left to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-66643426" target="_blank">"fall by the wayside," as Dr. Fauci said</a>. Or whose death would be explained away by some nit-picking weirdo who would pedantically ask if she died "with" or "from" long COVID, seeking to invalidate the meaning of her life. I remain heartbroken because she was brilliant and deserved so much more, and I know there are more stories like hers.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijoqE-Zu-8YRd4fJZ4n4q4R8az75oeI9RlSoIZ6kQdeHoyjDSxy-yNMu31Flv4wO73IjiQ44xiDVs16lRSv4RmldSmtm7ODsM35ZFX8nr3rSQnRJZfad5s5sJchFp0A2c8Cl9Z6osEnyXhOcfgCUZTZ-dm0CMEaEsyC9cP9MoxfkwIhStncvl320CU9BM/s1071/Screenshot_20240217-083946_X.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijoqE-Zu-8YRd4fJZ4n4q4R8az75oeI9RlSoIZ6kQdeHoyjDSxy-yNMu31Flv4wO73IjiQ44xiDVs16lRSv4RmldSmtm7ODsM35ZFX8nr3rSQnRJZfad5s5sJchFp0A2c8Cl9Z6osEnyXhOcfgCUZTZ-dm0CMEaEsyC9cP9MoxfkwIhStncvl320CU9BM/s16000/Screenshot_20240217-083946_X.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEMTsXW-z610HZFGVba4kvdG0cMBuP5jiXlb0Q2JQz4cedMWDWNyqcGHulzxWmPJEf9st4uPq2yJ-RIQ7Wezah4ebmuXToB8vPIvFbxmaABM8tk2DjQCGTJiNJfw30jUKHWE_BusyqXi1q-gNZNdKTTqkovZqAH3P8yx_b9Wf1rlQzqXlXe8eI1LBs7XQ/s4096/20240311_195343.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEMTsXW-z610HZFGVba4kvdG0cMBuP5jiXlb0Q2JQz4cedMWDWNyqcGHulzxWmPJEf9st4uPq2yJ-RIQ7Wezah4ebmuXToB8vPIvFbxmaABM8tk2DjQCGTJiNJfw30jUKHWE_BusyqXi1q-gNZNdKTTqkovZqAH3P8yx_b9Wf1rlQzqXlXe8eI1LBs7XQ/s16000/20240311_195343.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>There has been so much death, and yet so little public grieving. Maybe that partially explains the collective denial. I blame the rest on corporate and political interests. They are the ones who are successfully manufacturing the consent to be infected repeatedly. They have popularized the wishful thinking that the coronavirus would somehow miraculously evolve to become milder. They spread made-up nonsense about "immunity debt" while denying the very obvious fact that children keep bringing COVID home to their families because schools no longer mandate masks or tests and most didn't bother updating their ventilation systems. </p><p>Companies keep having super-spreader events with no safe or creative alternatives. If you want to move up the ladder at work or network to find more clients, you have to subject yourself to being exposed to the virus again and again in poorly ventilated rooms where no one is masking because the food and drinks being served are the main attraction.<br /></p><p>Our government says "we have the tools," but the tools they've given us are expired tests that give false negatives and vaccines that don't do enough to prevent transmission. The CDC sounds like the Cigarette Smoking Man from <i>The X-Files</i>, lying, denying, and hiding the truth from us all the time.</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh2ncgWiyNRULAcSqkpEEqTTWfRGH9JZXLcYhuOW28OfCmNGJbAKbKxGXNAlL01GJbKzzY5s4c9mDRFQsWEEcEafEqqgT5yn4ltTb31WPFwXsG06rGETm53pgVNva2ebD6ylukDt-BM6W6n8MQBZKQsnqWGKY0fVhyphenhyphenFW5IO0Ngwoo0iQIl7QF-kIe1iXA/s1200/cigarette%20smoking%20man%20cdc%20meme%20-%20with%20text.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Is this resignation to a tragic fate shaped by our constant exposure to senseless mass shootings and other random acts of violence? I want everyone to understand that death is not the only bad outcome, and neither is hospitalization. Some
people have been left in such agony from long COVID that they have
chosen to be euthanized in Switzerland, or they've taken matters into
their own hands.</p>

A lot of Democrats seemed to think that Biden's words about the "pandemic of the unvaccinated" only applied to stubborn MAGA people
and not small children or others who either couldn't get vaccinated
because of certain medical conditions or who have conditions that make
vaccines less likely to work for them. Belief in Biden's words about the vaccine meant that everyone could be "vaxxed and relaxed." Never mind the possibility of breakthrough infections. (Remember when they used to call them breakthrough infections?) Never mind the fact that the virus keeps on mutating and the immunity to it doesn't last. Never mind the fact that since most Americans have had COVID by now, most of us
are actually at higher risk of bad outcomes from additional infections than we realize.</p><p></p><p>And then there are Christians who insist that wearing a mask means you lack faith, but not wearing one means you have a "faith over fear" mentality. They treat COVID the way snake-handling churches treat pythons. Funny how the same faith community that
so adamantly taught me to stand in the courage of my convictions is so
opposed to be doing just that when it comes to dealing with an airborne
virus. This is a test from God and they have failed it repeatedly. They have no idea how many parishioners no longer attend because every Sunday is a super-spreader. These are the fellow Christians I know from online COVID-cautious groups.<br /></p><p>Some poorer countries <a href="https://www.salon.com/2023/09/10/boosters-are-coming-yet-many-countries-still-cant-access-vaccines-causing-preventable/" target="_blank">never got a vaccine</a>.

You would never know that looking at the smiling, unmasked faces of glittering celebrities at fancy award shows, or from the considerably less glamorous yet similarly maskless politicians in Washington. They have access to tools the rest of us may have never even heard of. </p><p>Yet the public scarcely knows about the <a href="https://faruv.com/" target="_blank">far UV lights</a>, high-tech air filtration systems, <a href="https://www.lucirabypfizer.com/" target="_blank">highly reliable tests</a>, and <a href="https://ondinebio.com/solutions/steriwave-healthcare/" target="_blank">nasal disinfectants</a> the elites can afford to take advantage of. We watch these people on TV without knowing of all the hidden mitigations that are propping up the appearance of normalcy.

I've been at it for 15 years. I've developed a communication style that feels natural and comfortable for me. I share in a way that doesn't make me so uncomfortable that I feel like I have to hide, deactivate, or take breaks. I share in a way that doesn't invite the kinds of interactions I prefer not to have. I don't want unsolicited advice, critiques, and people acting too familiar with me. I have too much respect for friendship to expect it to happen instantaneously. I have seen the weird parasocial relationships some social media users have with each other and want no part of that at all. Honestly, I just do the bare minimum at this point. I copy and paste. I have a document with a master list of all my repeating social media posts. Same pictures, different words; same words, different pictures. I see my social media as a bulletin board, billboard, or bullhorn, not a way to start a community. I don't actually want to start a community, anyway. I'm fortunate to already be a part of some wonderful communities online and in-person, and I feel like Facebook groups, Discord, Zoom calls, forums, specialty websites, and other smaller networks have been a better way to facilitate that kind of interaction on the internet than social media sites like Threads and Twitter. </p><p>After doing all the exercises in <i>The Artist's Way</i> and <i>Walking in this World</i>, I feel very protective of my creative process. It's not something that I feel comfortable sharing in high-speed time-lapse videos. I have no desire to invite an audience to pack shipments with me or get ready with me. Not sure if it's due to my age or my introversion, but I often prefer to just be left alone.</p><p>I want to work alone and then share my finished product with an audience. I don't see performance as a part of my art practice. I don't enjoy live painting. I want to be alone with my supplies and my ideas. I don't want input from a focus group. I'm not looking for collaborators or brand partnerships. I don't want to show everyone what my process is. I feel like my process is none of the internet's business.</p><p>Perhaps I've been subjected to too many micromanaging bosses and nit-picking teachers over the years, but at this point in my life, I don't want to be judged, watched, and second-guessed as I work. I would like to work without the suffocating presence of hovering know-it-alls giving me the kind of performance anxiety that ultimately blocks artists.</p><p>When I watch biopics and documentaries about artists and writers who lived in the past, I see how they were allowed to be aloof and mysterious if they wanted. No one was pressuring them to share every aspect of their daily routines and personal habits. No one expected them to. I find that quite enviable.</p><p><a href="https://tiffanygholar.blogspot.com/2019/07/not-one-more-pixel.html" target="_blank">I've written before</a> about how much I hate the expectation to overshare in the name of "authenticity." My unpopular opinion is that I don't owe the internet the whole entire story of my life. I'm not interested in satisfying the curiosity of nosy people on the internet. I don't work for Instagram, Threads, Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn. I work for me. I shouldn't have to put on a fashion show or perform a choreographed dance routine to sell a painting. My art should speak for itself.</p><p>Joining Threads has also introduced me to a lot of influencer accounts that I don't follow and has given me a chance to learn more about their struggles through the posts they share. And that's given me a lot to reconsider when it comes to how my feelings about them have changed over the years, namely my resentment. I think what I resent is the outsize influence that influencers have had on how those of us in other industries are expected to show up on social media. The advice on how to succeed at social media comes from that lens. And that advice ultimately trickles down from the pyramid scheme shaped world of motivational speakers, coaches, and sales trainers, the same phony garbage advice I was forced to listen to when I worked in retail. I was supposed to use neurolinguistic programming to manipulate customers into buying things whether they wanted them or not. I was supposed to strictly follow sales scripts. My micromanaging bosses were spying on me from adjacent room vignettes to make sure I did.</p><p>Putting on a show, mugging for the camera like a kid on a Disney or Nickelodeon sitcom, effervescent, carefree, and upbeat, embodying the Great American stock characters of the beauty queen and the door-to-door salesman, all pageantry and spectacle and no substance are the things the experts say we all must do for engagement and likes. </p><p>And when we're done mining our personal lives for material, we're encouraged to look around and see if there's anyone in our vicinity who we can use for that purpose. That has led to a cringeworthy trend of eavesdropping and being a tattletale as content. I see this as an outgrowth of our see-something-say-something post Patriot Act milieu. Little by little, with every smart device and social network, we have surrendered our privacy and subjected ourselves to endless surveillance. But it's not just the apps that are telling on us. We are telling on ourselves. I now know entirely too much about complete strangers against my will because of their oversharing content.</p><p>Art and content are two different things. My art is not content, but sometimes I make content about my art. Art, to me, is something that is intended to last. A painting or sculpture you want to live with, a book you're happy to add to your shelf, a movie you want to watch again, a song you can't stop listening to... all those are things that were done for the art. And content is fleeting. I see content as something you make to promote the art, a commercial for the art, a trailer for the book or the movie. So in my mind, art is timeless and content is time-sensitive. Acknowledging the difference between art and content helps me keep things in perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Related Reading:</b></p><p><a href="https://www.vox.com/culture/2024/2/1/24056883/tiktok-self-promotion-artist-career-how-to-build-following">Want to sell a book or release an album?

Two photos from <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.tiffanygholar.com/the-doll-project" href="https://www.tiffanygholar.com/the-doll-project" target="_blank">The Doll Project</a> are being exhibited as part of the <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.ph21gallery.com/barbie-23" href="https://www.ph21gallery.com/barbie-23" target="_blank"><em><strong>Dolling up the lens: Barbie</strong></em></a> exhibition in the <strong>PH21</strong> photography gallery in Budapest, Hungary. Here's more about the show:</span><br /><br /><br /></p><blockquote>The Barbie phenomenon, spanning over six decades, has left an indelible mark on our culture. It has been a source of inspiration, sparking imaginations, while also evoking strong criticism for its potential impact on body image, self-perception, and identity. Unlike traditional dolls, Barbie emerged as an adult figure, presenting a complete spectrum of allure and sexuality, thus embodying a symbol of beauty and desire. Barbie's world-building transcended mere play; it resembled the art of theater production and film direction, akin to the creative process behind staged photography. Barbie, in her own right, can be seen as an early physical avatar, foreshadowing the virtual avatars prevalent in today's digital realm. Even contemporary video games draw upon the imaginative foundations laid by Barbie. In this call, we invite photographers to explore the multifaceted world of Barbie, embracing both its positive and critical dimensions.</blockquote><br /><br /><br />The show will be on view from today through January 6th, 2024, so if you or someone you know happens to be in Budapest, stop by before it closes!<p></p><p><br /></p>Tiffany Gholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12979768952670661700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-31959846812642233842023-10-23T09:57:00.001-05:002023-10-23T10:44:14.375-05:00My latest interior design project: A jewel-toned kitchen<p>This year, I've been working on a kitchen renovation.

Since about 2021 or so, I've witnessed an unsettling trend: art events that are likely superspreader events. At least one artist I know blames an art show as the source of their coronavirus infection. I became wary of art openings after learning about that. The only one I've attended since the pandemic began was a group show I was in, but between the unmasked crowd and the poor ventilation, (so humid that it made a portion of <i><a href="https://tiffanygholar.blogspot.com/2020/08/new-painting-unforeseeable-future.html" target="_blank">The Unforeseeable Future</a></i> come unglued!) I only stayed about 10 minutes. I don't think I've written about how it's been the past few years to constantly know I'm being left out and left behind because of the art world's cavalier attitude about masking, but it really hurts. My Instagram feed is full of smiling unmasked faces crowded together for photos at somebody’s indoor art show. I don't smile back at them.</p><p>In <i><a href="www.tiffanygholar.com/future " target="_blank">The Unforeseeable Future</a></i> (the book), I wrote about the pain of paying for a studio I couldn't use. I've now endured almost 2 more years of that pain. Quiet as it's kept, open studios are often rent parties for artists as we hope that some of the people who come through will either make a major purchase or introduce us to someone who will. I've been deprived of that possibility for over three years now, first because the pandemic began and now because of the foolish insistence that's it's over when it's not. While I am grateful for the existence of virtual "Still Coviding" groups online, it hasn't been a sufficient substitute for being able to sell my work in person, the way it’s meant to be seen. Even before the pandemic, I was getting tired of relying on the internet in general and social media in particular, where my hopes of getting my work seen by a new audience are constantly dashed.</p><p>A few months ago, I surveyed my email list to find out if anyone would be interested in attending a private open studio in a mask. Only a tiny fraction said yes. It didn't seem worth it. Then I saw the front page of the <i>Chicago Reader</i>, which featured an illustration The Fine Arts Building and an announcement about the 125th anniversary celebration. The thought of missing out caused me literal physical pain. This was my chance, finally, after all these years, to get the foot traffic I've always needed. So I decided that I would open my studio and require masks. </p><p>With the help of a cousin who has experience working as a bouncer, I was able to enforce that rule during my first Second Friday Open Studio since Valentine's Day 2020. Then on Sunday, when the building participated in Open House Chicago, I enforced my policy myself. Offering masks to potential visitors was essential. Selecting stylish masks to distribute enhanced the experience. I also offered printouts of cartoonist <a href="https://thenib.com/temperature-check/?fbclid=IwAR0S0uTueu97Ua8XEyoCBLXb1Wl8Uj9nd_bLtflwxOonYG1Pr0rnUFpBfbk" target="_blank">Whit Taylor's brilliant COVID explainer comic "Temperature Check"</a> and added some public service announcements that I made from memes and infographics to my usual mix of videos that I play on my TV in the hallway. For an additional layer of protection, I kept both my air conditioner and my air purifier running. </p><p>Despite the horror stories I've seen about anti-maskers getting violent and my own bad experiences with them online, nothing like that happened, much to my relief. I probably could have had 50% more visitors on Friday without my mandate, but since one-way masking isn't enough, that wasn't an option. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD5fDkd3P-ng71KmHR9JQnu_ZitwpKP4qc02ElzCgQN7iyWJYeOIZe3lufyKzRxO9la1X6E7yBWIXHNgznLU0KNBT0OmPXZ-6nyqXr1lLeN-mxDzhBMoiWnMSaEY2DtgbfRJUTOCVlcT9Fm1Q7PTySzlgDIy2h7LWYx6tD1j8wPJERVcxAYx8bEO_dhLs/s2722/20231015_142141-02.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1840" data-original-width="2722" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD5fDkd3P-ng71KmHR9JQnu_ZitwpKP4qc02ElzCgQN7iyWJYeOIZe3lufyKzRxO9la1X6E7yBWIXHNgznLU0KNBT0OmPXZ-6nyqXr1lLeN-mxDzhBMoiWnMSaEY2DtgbfRJUTOCVlcT9Fm1Q7PTySzlgDIy2h7LWYx6tD1j8wPJERVcxAYx8bEO_dhLs/s320/20231015_142141-02.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><p>When I was on my own on Sunday, I sat in the hall and informed everyone who approached my door that they were welcome to visit, but I require everyone to wear a mask and there was a nice selection of designs to choose from. There were only 3 violations: a defiant elder with an apparent sense of entitlement, someone who didn't seem to understand English very well, and someone absentmindedly wearing the mask I gave them on their chin. After it was over, I sprayed Lysol in the air and kept my air conditioning and air purifier running overnight since the virus is airborne and can linger in a space for up to 16 hours.</p><p>As much as I would have loved to meet a dealer, gallerist or big spender art collector, even though yet again that didn't happen, I am glad to have had the opportunities the past weekend provided. In addition to selling as much as possible, my goal was to create an oasis of safety within a potential superspreader event and help to raise awareness about COVID. I didn’t want anyone to get sick because they came to my studio. I know I'm just an unpopular artist with unpopular opinions, but I think people should be able to enjoy looking at art without risking getting infected with a weird new bat virus that keeps mutating!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz9GITFy4InBKdxmJ4HYipyBm0qEOCdgIh8Y-vwsP6oe9Hhh-K4e3WD2SbE8tHSeKrTCD0ofP2EAlefX7Q3a0Jx9heoQiHVB7J-4iUznVmEPIlTtoQ9i45Vd_KsG_XWpw6PIxdT5NkvMgjj9QUhOlkO7eUN2EiJcriM6tbmwUXrAAIO6CLLsa1n_Z9FIc/s654/X-Files%20F%20Emasculata%20clip%20(2)_1.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="368" data-original-width="654" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz9GITFy4InBKdxmJ4HYipyBm0qEOCdgIh8Y-vwsP6oe9Hhh-K4e3WD2SbE8tHSeKrTCD0ofP2EAlefX7Q3a0Jx9heoQiHVB7J-4iUznVmEPIlTtoQ9i45Vd_KsG_XWpw6PIxdT5NkvMgjj9QUhOlkO7eUN2EiJcriM6tbmwUXrAAIO6CLLsa1n_Z9FIc/s320/X-Files%20F%20Emasculata%20clip%20(2)_1.gif" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Tiffany Gholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12979768952670661700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-51601007155067729552023-10-15T09:06:00.001-05:002023-10-15T09:06:18.919-05:00Taking matters into my own (sanitized) hands<p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.nextchapterstudio.com/products/mask-or-get-out-store-sign-risograph-print" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="564" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEideGVdhVcdh-XauXYnluWjdRlVt-MATTZSINYqcT8bcXtSaW-0jr6c_5UpPjMTRqTGUUVv54aSzTAe5bzV1muERC9keZg3P-_mN3djMJZMWfWJTKE8iqhXi1BVdNvSTNdBUVtXsLJi3gN_TOmIJpxX9hNyFbqvqA08e8Zda6KiFBulx0TTdVE7-FLI/s16000/mask%20or%20get%20out%20sign.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"Mask or Get Out" sign by <a href="https://www.nextchapterstudio.com/products/mask-or-get-out-store-sign-risograph-print" target="_blank">Next Chapter Studio</a><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p><br /></p><p>It's been over 3 years since my last open studio and I am tired of missing out.

However, the economics of that decision change when that fee is being paid to one of the richest people on Earth. The morality of the decision, or lack thereof, becomes startlingly apparent when the broligarch charging $8 per month has revealed himself to be openly in support of vile, disgusting, eugenicist, racist ideas.</p><p>I already had a clear idea of his character from the beginning. We don't call him Apartheid Clyde casually. But now that he's in the spotlight, it's become even more obvious. And people like him like to say that they're "just asking questions," or that those of us who would rather not be subjected to hate speech need to be exposed to ideas we disagree with. As if those ideas are new and not the same stale, old, decrepit, irrelevant ideas of racial differences that date back to at least 1492.</p><p>I thought things were bad before, but lately Twitter trolls have gotten extra vicious. Just in the past few days, I've seen a Black woman addressed as a slave and a Black man post about receiving pictures of George Floyd being murdered. This is the terminally online white supremacist's idea of debating. I also saw a white woman's post about contracting COVID-19 at an event met with cruel replies from random blue checkmark accounts wishing her ill. That is the terminally online misogynistic COVID-19 denier's idea of well wishes. Yet Apartheid Clyde wants to get rid of the block feature! It was only after Monica Lewinsky, of all people, tweeted at Twitter figurehead Linda Yaccarino that any official statement was made about it.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6qwZvYqxjg0H2D54dhtmwyfjq0zEc6sA2OjoOP-fZ4vfs9ycimr7AqY269v2fgDrAFPXkXtvqhbf3zhZ9aMhW-d_0ILjLIcbluQIdjW3i7as6sQXjTBLcrxi348wAw-yQ3dK-0__JUZU23V1QklsyQXrNssay1MesxrqYViyNUWstxbvHDdwdxzlAWwU/s1074/Screenshot_20230819-061131_X.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6qwZvYqxjg0H2D54dhtmwyfjq0zEc6sA2OjoOP-fZ4vfs9ycimr7AqY269v2fgDrAFPXkXtvqhbf3zhZ9aMhW-d_0ILjLIcbluQIdjW3i7as6sQXjTBLcrxi348wAw-yQ3dK-0__JUZU23V1QklsyQXrNssay1MesxrqYViyNUWstxbvHDdwdxzlAWwU/s16000/Screenshot_20230819-061131_X.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><p>I actually started writing this post a few weeks ago. I could have published it then, but that would have been before the name change, or the announcement about getting rid of blocking, or <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/08/28/elon-musks-shadow-rule" target="_blank">Ronan Farrow's revelatory profile</a>. I was going to write about how I've been rewatching <i>The X-Files</i> and the giant neon "X" on top of the Twitter headquarters reminded me of the way that Mulder summoned his informant, <a href="https://x-files.fandom.com/wiki/X" target="_blank">Mr. X</a>, but <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-twitter-x-sign-already-removed-san-francisco-headquarters-2023-7" target="_blank">now the sign is gone</a>. Twitter, like so many ruined businesses before it, is subject to the capricious whims of an immature rich man who just can't leave well enough alone. </p><p>Up until the end of last month, I had a comfortable routine for my social media usage. It was something I established back in 2012. First through Hootsuite and then through TweetDeck, I scheduled an average of 5 tweets per day that would post every 2 hours. I was able to have a continuous social media presence without having to be "too online." As horribly as the current owner of the site has behaved, I will not be paying $8 per month for the "privilege" of being able to continue to do this. Between his blatant racism and his plan to use Twitter as a <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/elon-musk-will-train-his-ai-project-using-your-tweets" target="_blank">source to train artificial intelligence</a>, I absolutely refuse. At the same time, deleting my account is something I also refuse to do. Sunday was my 15 year anniversary of being on Twitter. (Clearly I was busy in August 2008 because I have multiple 15 year anniversaries this week!) I can't bring myself to get rid of 15 years of work just because of one petty tyrant. I will not respond impulsively to his impulsive behavior. Eventually, he'll either get bored with his new plaything, go live in outer space, or die. Perhaps after that they'll put someone sensible in charge. Until then, I'm tweeting less and <a href="https://www.threads.net/@tiffanygholar" target="_blank">threading</a> more.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Related articles:</b></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://futurism.com/the-byte/gamers-boo-elon-musk?utm_source=social&utm_medium=instagram&utm_campaign=threads" target="_blank">Huge Crowd of Gamers Boos Elon Musk for Ruining Twitter</a></span></p><p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/08/28/elon-musks-shadow-rule" target="_blank">Elon Musk’s Shadow Rule</a></p><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-killed-twitter-irrelevant-meta-threads-debt-mark-zuckerberg-2023-7" target="_blank">Welcome to 'Zombie Twitter'</a></p><p><a href="https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-x-twitter-headlines" target="_blank">Elon Musk wants to remove headlines from news articles on X</a></p><p><a href="https://mashable.com/article/twitter-x-elon-musk-legal-threat-center-for-countering-digital-hate" target="_blank">A nonprofit tracks hate speech online.

Looking back, it seems like it might have been the high point just before its decline. For a few brief years, I had an audience here. Now, things are very different. The steepest decline in readership for me was in 2016, 4 years after Google Reader was terminated. </p><p>People used to leave comments. Real people, not spam bots. Now things are weird. One recent example: getting a response to a very old blog post via a direct message on Instagram instead of a blog comment. </p><p>I had hoped that blogging would lead to bigger things. I saw that happen for a lot of people right before I started, but it's never happened for me. Whatever that mysterious quality is that gets millions to like, subscribe, and follow, I don't have it and I've come to accept that about myself.</p><p>So why do I keep blogging? It's become a habit. That's part of it. It helps me remember the beautiful art and furniture I've seen. My posts are the first drafts of my books. Also, social media feels too small sometimes. I'm a multimedia person. I think Twitter is the second-best way for me to post text, images, and video together. The best way is blogging. Microblogging can only contain a fraction of my ideas. It's not expansive enough to express my ambivalence. Blogging also has the advantage of not being in imminent danger of getting taken over by an annoying billionaire. Besides that, it's easier to get my ideas out into the world this way as opposed to trying to get an op-ed published. </p><p>All of these are reasons why I keep coming back here. I'm grateful for those of you who still read my blog 15 years later.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Tiffany Gholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12979768952670661700noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-76800219909540632752023-08-02T15:42:00.004-05:002023-08-02T16:02:06.377-05:00Book signing at the 2023 Black Women's Expo<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjebJH58N9Fei2xKKHmLSr180tmRT_D3OD1HmVoeMrFMnENiJtQThqrddHDTmCb5HD_AlPOKDqt8Gja3cy13_q3JYg8rrIsEyVnxPKw88t0PMQIHYbzZIQBpL9gdAOHag9Bnz22BMCflnvB4C1gREsUC1InGRrMTrReTqrrnBLdSQwYVYPw_8FjcmfhibQ/s1080/Tiffany%20Black%20Women's%20Expo%201.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjebJH58N9Fei2xKKHmLSr180tmRT_D3OD1HmVoeMrFMnENiJtQThqrddHDTmCb5HD_AlPOKDqt8Gja3cy13_q3JYg8rrIsEyVnxPKw88t0PMQIHYbzZIQBpL9gdAOHag9Bnz22BMCflnvB4C1gREsUC1InGRrMTrReTqrrnBLdSQwYVYPw_8FjcmfhibQ/s16000/Tiffany%20Black%20Women's%20Expo%201.png" width="500" /></a></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span><p></p>On Sunday, August 6th, I'll be selling signed copies of my books at the <a href="https://bwenext.com/chicago-expo/"><b>2023 Black Women's Expo</b></a> at McCormick Place.

It was one of many in this very thought-provoking collection. I found it very contemplative and respectful. It covers many aspects of death, from spiritual beliefs that surround it to cultural traditions from around the world. I noticed several children there with their parents. I think it would be a good way to introduce kids to the concept of mortality. Depending on the child's level of maturity, I could see it as appropriate for ages 8 and up.

I forgot that it just kind of sneaks up on you. While there are ample content warnings in the Death exhibit, the Africa exhibit doesn't have any such signage. I suppose someone could argue it was a deliberate curatorial experience, art imitating life, they might say. A swift, sudden, horrifying abduction from a familiar way of life to be mercilessly thrown into what poet Robert Hayden called "<a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43076/middle-passage" target="_blank">a voyage through death</a>." But having begun my museum excursion contemplating death, I didn't feel like seeing more of it. The fittingly grim and haunting replica of a slave ship wrenched my heart and reduced me to tears the first time I ventured through it as a high school freshman and I wasn't in the mood to see it again on Saturday. One minute I'm admiring my ancestors' handiwork and the next I'm faced with a replica of the Door of No Return. Some jaded people about my age and older accuse younger generations of being coddled by trigger warnings, but I honestly see the benefit of including them for something like this. I've never been one to avoid slave narratives, but I have to be in the right mood and mindset to engage with them because my reaction is so visceral.

As I wrote about in detail in <i><a href="http://www.tiffanygholar.com/the-doll-project" target="_blank">The Doll Project</a></i>, the official character traits and storylines Mattel had assigned to Barbie, her sisters, and her friends were wholly irrelevant to the roles and relationships I had imagined the dolls in my collection to have. Some were heroines and some were villains. Some were single career women and some were married. Some had biological children and some adopted. And sometimes I changed my mind about who my Barbie characters were or improvised when playing with my cousins and friends.<br /></p><p>It wasn't until I was well into adulthood that I began watching Barbie media, adding it to the mix of silly kids shows that I watch to relax. Some people unwind with reality TV; I've always preferred cartoons. So when the news about <i>Barbie: The Movie</i> came out, I was actually looking forward to seeing it. I had enjoyed <i>Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse</i> and <i>Barbie: It Takes Two</i>. My skepticism about <i>The Lego Movie</i> and <i>Trolls</i> had been unwarranted, as it turned out, and I found both toy-based movies to actually be insightful, heartwarming, and rewatchable entertainment for my inner child.</p><p>As a doll collector, I was thrilled to see all the new movie tie-ins. These are two of my favorites:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQXvYGqnbDVYIt7Rzc7CHu827XVDoxv3se8wNfA73aC_kyTDP2oQoBEVZEo7ZGi-cYI-yG90eZ6VyDx1FSxm6CGxZ4cI1w2F1W-2TieDjcONT6Ie5n-BmeFdDWODyUKQDvvZmCx3DF0QX5atK9PpePI1IUJFGObgOTNuc5zbgzX4g18uxDxe5OmArfkw/s736/ed0fcffd1c6ff0ce55d2ac3e9222e274.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQXvYGqnbDVYIt7Rzc7CHu827XVDoxv3se8wNfA73aC_kyTDP2oQoBEVZEo7ZGi-cYI-yG90eZ6VyDx1FSxm6CGxZ4cI1w2F1W-2TieDjcONT6Ie5n-BmeFdDWODyUKQDvvZmCx3DF0QX5atK9PpePI1IUJFGObgOTNuc5zbgzX4g18uxDxe5OmArfkw/s16000/ed0fcffd1c6ff0ce55d2ac3e9222e274.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi98PkARdJsiZF4DMMiPygy0e7l_6Jech5dRfWI8QE9bSJ8jNHrZrtJDgJKNlEttGKrFwWU2MGj9BUSk_TeIE05woFXXKfEnNLl2E-QpPz8hEpAYTCthz0KbJffqj0TDHWllhsj46-e3Fn6nTqCiuHFKSwn7MIRVQBtBKiBYBKo3EpMC0poT-Yzel6CVq0/s736/bdfb0c6014dcc8330651e2bf28a1c37b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi98PkARdJsiZF4DMMiPygy0e7l_6Jech5dRfWI8QE9bSJ8jNHrZrtJDgJKNlEttGKrFwWU2MGj9BUSk_TeIE05woFXXKfEnNLl2E-QpPz8hEpAYTCthz0KbJffqj0TDHWllhsj46-e3Fn6nTqCiuHFKSwn7MIRVQBtBKiBYBKo3EpMC0poT-Yzel6CVq0/s16000/bdfb0c6014dcc8330651e2bf28a1c37b.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX8qpn90Fb4yTK_iaqop2evAtoKUSm775I-1aNIn5Jk6gJLvW7zFBwEl9WeVUyyTbouqkHkNFmd4SpzhbGnq04diwsUymKJI3OGNXREXzmgq2RjjSTT9eMFfIs1Yc-4Ajv9DKh-C-2--sBs4_xDbbfK_nLSulc1aATBWxIAos4G9FyrbcFd_xlq-KFRkg/s736/33a77085fc02ce6c0095d8c0e837ec61.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX8qpn90Fb4yTK_iaqop2evAtoKUSm775I-1aNIn5Jk6gJLvW7zFBwEl9WeVUyyTbouqkHkNFmd4SpzhbGnq04diwsUymKJI3OGNXREXzmgq2RjjSTT9eMFfIs1Yc-4Ajv9DKh-C-2--sBs4_xDbbfK_nLSulc1aATBWxIAos4G9FyrbcFd_xlq-KFRkg/s16000/33a77085fc02ce6c0095d8c0e837ec61.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHdMvAYjEdXZ2iBBllw6XFJrXlmYJXLNTH0kZeOYcMSx0w3SH0Y7GuW7UeqzJn_XGBzCdwiMLcdHKukjm9mMsSMOeUgrcboL19TzUMlgZhU-Rqlyz0Piedf0nV5oV18KSKZo4yYP1EDHvsRsWg78p_i2_K6d9BxQCnOSl1REUGwPlqaBC_AwzzXrAJwD8/s736/a0aa8d2aa29cf930c2465eb5478e64b5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHdMvAYjEdXZ2iBBllw6XFJrXlmYJXLNTH0kZeOYcMSx0w3SH0Y7GuW7UeqzJn_XGBzCdwiMLcdHKukjm9mMsSMOeUgrcboL19TzUMlgZhU-Rqlyz0Piedf0nV5oV18KSKZo4yYP1EDHvsRsWg78p_i2_K6d9BxQCnOSl1REUGwPlqaBC_AwzzXrAJwD8/s16000/a0aa8d2aa29cf930c2465eb5478e64b5.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>I was excited to dress up and go to the movies since I haven't been to a theater since 2020. <br /></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggSId3jJ_A_vdVT-np6ABqw60htt0L9R2MJvLSen1WHs2tjsDEB7TaC5MYiBn7f6VmFZH7S9u_OOC-ZGK2BryiD-DLsBpo2Jv8fpKsSBa3swzgwRk0-Bza8b2eqpBB7-kVEb5f8W0oClEVvHoVy9tidiESmphnZFt4sSXe1YlMVgtj-isFLPUHQCe7bOM/s500/me%20at%20the%20barbie%20movie%20-%20500.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggSId3jJ_A_vdVT-np6ABqw60htt0L9R2MJvLSen1WHs2tjsDEB7TaC5MYiBn7f6VmFZH7S9u_OOC-ZGK2BryiD-DLsBpo2Jv8fpKsSBa3swzgwRk0-Bza8b2eqpBB7-kVEb5f8W0oClEVvHoVy9tidiESmphnZFt4sSXe1YlMVgtj-isFLPUHQCe7bOM/s16000/me%20at%20the%20barbie%20movie%20-%20500.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>I went with 2 of my cousins and 1 of my friends.

If horrible men like Ben Shapiro hate it, I thought, it must be good. But as a Barbie collector who also studied many forms of storytelling<span class="MUxGbd wuQ4Ob WZ8Tjf">—</span>from fiction writing to playwriting to screenwriting<span class="MUxGbd wuQ4Ob WZ8Tjf">—</span>I was very disappointed with they the way the movie's elements came together.</p><p>There have been too many good movies about toys for this one to be so muddled. The <i>Toy Story</i>, <i>Lego Movie</i>, and <i>Wreck-It Ralph</i> series have all cleverly played with the idea of toys and video game characters having minds of their own that the humans playing with them cannot perceive. There have been too many good models of a fish-out-of-water character from a more innocent world coming face-to-face with our sometimes ugly reality<span class="MUxGbd wuQ4Ob WZ8Tjf">—</span>like my beloved <i>Elf</i> where Buddy the Elf leaves the tidy little community that Santa and his elves have built for themselves in the North Pole to live in gritty early 2000s New York City<span class="MUxGbd wuQ4Ob WZ8Tjf">—for this one to execute the trope so poorly. I also think there was a missed opportunity for Ken to be a lovable hapless himbo who stumbles into success somehow, like a cross between <i>Zoolander</i> and <i>Forrest Gump</i>.</span></p><p><span class="MUxGbd wuQ4Ob WZ8Tjf">Instead, Mattel has given us a motley assortment of plot elements that kind of remind me of the loose parts you might find at the bottom of a toy box. It just occurred to me that the examples I gave in the previous paragraph are from films with male main characters. Maybe the <i>Barbie</i> writers were so focused on making points about the main character's gender that they lost the plot. Yes, the film is feminist, but what wave of feminism are they referencing, anyway? Nowadays, as more expansive notions of gender come into play, what is the point of fixating on a Barbie/Ken binary? Furthermore, why does Barbie's world have a gendered hierarchy? Why are the Kens and Barbies playing a zero-sum game? Why can't they share power? Why is Mattel ignoring their own products and acting like Ken dolls haven't had their own careers since the '60s?</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqE1QylagCurodh-mwWqdWJflASSJ_PRvtqHA5Drrza8Pf1DZfNkqdlJiP-ueIfVKBmtYpJHKNz4vY0yDLLzMEjITvV_KGGYUvwzubtqfJZcnkWuJrSomi06CWYivaFlKZZZ4nEtZcMffpM29BM7eXkbrCPbZALWfIwPrQt0jW_g5GjMxVJJzRj8Okog/s1024/ad9f091bf24f5cbe8c8db865adf63c17.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqE1QylagCurodh-mwWqdWJflASSJ_PRvtqHA5Drrza8Pf1DZfNkqdlJiP-ueIfVKBmtYpJHKNz4vY0yDLLzMEjITvV_KGGYUvwzubtqfJZcnkWuJrSomi06CWYivaFlKZZZ4nEtZcMffpM29BM7eXkbrCPbZALWfIwPrQt0jW_g5GjMxVJJzRj8Okog/s16000/ad9f091bf24f5cbe8c8db865adf63c17.jpg" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIE5NZcfgIhaNOs2_KWrJW2BDzlX1QvRus7UZk9ZJo6xcT-XcK6FI0pXy48MfE5NWGBHgpXhYpNW5DvbU5H4xt7VOE3nX5sjhVzg4DlJFRcsVMoj312MVhmftvsGhwocqLR6xIrToIBwR57I37JSG2bklqYOjZ4seu4KoDW1zpQW4_tbe-0UAsNZ2u7xE/s550/f22c555ee2f25b100181d437b188020f.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="373" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIE5NZcfgIhaNOs2_KWrJW2BDzlX1QvRus7UZk9ZJo6xcT-XcK6FI0pXy48MfE5NWGBHgpXhYpNW5DvbU5H4xt7VOE3nX5sjhVzg4DlJFRcsVMoj312MVhmftvsGhwocqLR6xIrToIBwR57I37JSG2bklqYOjZ4seu4KoDW1zpQW4_tbe-0UAsNZ2u7xE/s16000/f22c555ee2f25b100181d437b188020f.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCPmdzaHEAVF2LByBZA0LU1kE7IHFt-gGoVh38IBpgVwY4f9LyjmKFiRokACQu_Gdr7NDgxBhOF8c41K8QCeTHuFypaTpAly7lH_Ms28cV3_3gw863TuY11Bb8gjAqEnXnKpuQWBK2UNGSQbt1cqWhq18-2ki3pWJDy10cv1luez1bmsUf5yx9GMOdkrg/s736/0ce196d7da7b73d39b0d3abf1160033d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCPmdzaHEAVF2LByBZA0LU1kE7IHFt-gGoVh38IBpgVwY4f9LyjmKFiRokACQu_Gdr7NDgxBhOF8c41K8QCeTHuFypaTpAly7lH_Ms28cV3_3gw863TuY11Bb8gjAqEnXnKpuQWBK2UNGSQbt1cqWhq18-2ki3pWJDy10cv1luez1bmsUf5yx9GMOdkrg/s16000/0ce196d7da7b73d39b0d3abf1160033d.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2el6Y1ng5QWi6zoRg_f3UivPArAq4sw8DgmBf66q56D6VaxEIK02jeqJB-m1D6hZTbCuzZ6omLi7DQ7Go7yW-TAMbolhNLOTrdcyHOutVWUcskvSKn12KTuP4HCE4d84RnWez4AWInQxW_8IxM052s8xaFfo-cV7eRW-8v5-VgSWlcIYdo5xhF0fVacY/s1500/71d642859b73bddcd7ab1b6bee87b20d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2el6Y1ng5QWi6zoRg_f3UivPArAq4sw8DgmBf66q56D6VaxEIK02jeqJB-m1D6hZTbCuzZ6omLi7DQ7Go7yW-TAMbolhNLOTrdcyHOutVWUcskvSKn12KTuP4HCE4d84RnWez4AWInQxW_8IxM052s8xaFfo-cV7eRW-8v5-VgSWlcIYdo5xhF0fVacY/s16000/71d642859b73bddcd7ab1b6bee87b20d.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><span class="MUxGbd wuQ4Ob WZ8Tjf">It's also unclear who <i>Barbie</i> the movie is ultimately for. Its gender politics are a bit outdated for modern audiences, despite America Ferrera's outstanding monologue about the difficulty of being a woman in the world. The Kens drink copious beers after they take over, but the Mattel executives are very cartoonish in their chase scenes. President Barbie hilariously drops an f-bomb that is bleeped and censored by a Mattel logo and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Handler" target="_blank">Ruth Handler</a> character speaks openly about her arrest for tax evasion, but the grown-up humor stands out because the story feels so immature. And all of this culminates in an ending that I found unsatisfying, despite its refutation of what I wrote in <i>The Doll Project</i> about Barbie looking so happy because she doesn't have to worry about things like breast cancer, PMS, and menstrual cramps. She has chosen to be human, but why? She has chosen to live in the real world, but why? Because the writers are obviously human and live in the real world? What's her motivation?<br /></span><p></p><p>It seems as though Mattel is seeking to humorously deconstruct one of its most popular intellectual properties while still trying to sell us as much stuff as possible through a seemingly endless assortment of brand partnerships. But post-deconstruction, it doesn't reconstruct anything interesting, and it never considers that toys are what kids make of them. Children breathe life into them and it is their wild imaginations and not the text on the back of a bright pink plastic package that determine how things work in the multiverse of imagined Barbie worlds. Barbie and Ken can be anything, and the possibilities for storytelling with these miniature mannequins are endless, but you would never know that from this movie. If only they put as much effort into writing this film as they did into marketing it.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdJS7TJzYVbdlI0_-U7mJHUDLIH9GG0C5QsyUT4IijU9ofAtsFWemYyGKbk428MsvxekSzbMVsNFjXOUyXXVAeW9Xl22YNzlBDauCULlyrRrE3mcpLryPvo-PIk_U3VY6iO382TD8vCXLTJQU4Ubxs8BcGaDVkLPIuMLv93b6hYBciR-TgOwqHIDmy1W4/s900/filmmaker%20barbie%20movie%20review.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdJS7TJzYVbdlI0_-U7mJHUDLIH9GG0C5QsyUT4IijU9ofAtsFWemYyGKbk428MsvxekSzbMVsNFjXOUyXXVAeW9Xl22YNzlBDauCULlyrRrE3mcpLryPvo-PIk_U3VY6iO382TD8vCXLTJQU4Ubxs8BcGaDVkLPIuMLv93b6hYBciR-TgOwqHIDmy1W4/s16000/filmmaker%20barbie%20movie%20review.jpg" width="500" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div></div>Tiffany Gholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12979768952670661700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-1353737906465016592023-07-13T10:44:00.000-05:002023-07-13T10:44:07.377-05:00A little something I made recently <p>Here are a couple little things I made recently while waiting for several coats of Mod Podge to dry on another painting:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGixx_h2Qd9IIbTd7WeH-lE2BsRlqZP0P9qHqHwj-g15szYFS8DhgVNDVNBGHsGvXUHHby11qZFki0UXlsn4UWTVVaMJuDcj1R8VFBEBd98v9G9YVbMZ-Mu0fuMJ2TUad_xuAyz3SkKiteisKR3uGYWBRCKfdnOGrXYDhuEjBVQQsUqLWxFVQDIl7iMyY/s3024/20230624_124200-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGixx_h2Qd9IIbTd7WeH-lE2BsRlqZP0P9qHqHwj-g15szYFS8DhgVNDVNBGHsGvXUHHby11qZFki0UXlsn4UWTVVaMJuDcj1R8VFBEBd98v9G9YVbMZ-Mu0fuMJ2TUad_xuAyz3SkKiteisKR3uGYWBRCKfdnOGrXYDhuEjBVQQsUqLWxFVQDIl7iMyY/w640-h640/20230624_124200-01.jpeg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim3yCRo7LK2-SBXYcSDxsFNNZP6Wyf1Zv3P5fh2Iys11L33HTFHZ4y9fSuiLVs3zy4ZRE7a0GMjupMYNt3awxL2ZE9eED8xW72WbIye-H8hqJi_cxTWXvaACFhhV1WaOatUJEXJNAglkNaZJWkGNZOXWboIMi4zogABWlOUYAI2bUZrbBfJ8zdT6QjI2c/s3024/LRM_20230706_194926-01-01%201.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim3yCRo7LK2-SBXYcSDxsFNNZP6Wyf1Zv3P5fh2Iys11L33HTFHZ4y9fSuiLVs3zy4ZRE7a0GMjupMYNt3awxL2ZE9eED8xW72WbIye-H8hqJi_cxTWXvaACFhhV1WaOatUJEXJNAglkNaZJWkGNZOXWboIMi4zogABWlOUYAI2bUZrbBfJ8zdT6QjI2c/s320/LRM_20230706_194926-01-01%201.jpeg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>I've found that making these collages is like putting a puzzle together, and the missing pieces could be anywhere.

That's what happened to me with this redesigned concept for my book cover for <i>A Bitter Pill to Swallow</i>. I can't even blame it on not getting any feedback from other people. In 2015 I showed my penultimate drafts to a friend who's a professional graphic designer and not 1 but 2 art critique groups. Not until this year did I realize that there was a good way to put all my cover design elements on a single cover. If you recall, my original design involved 4 variant covers.<div><br /></div><div>Let's go back to where it all started, a simple sketch I made while on my lunch break:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJrBAcZDRsPsglFjX44vSbNnLxHlW0uqKkpmgwf_e4yYWyT3D1G51h21CYe-GtcdjloS-Xs2hkH6NZxaHLSYigFiO9S9KsDBZ6zhdQ-Y-_u92UgVOlXF0dKVvRl4ejQ65Zw8r365l-6C02Sev1LyMdY7uR2rjugKal-GQUj7Q6RMpxlg1u9fzGixDY/s1600/20150305_071901%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJrBAcZDRsPsglFjX44vSbNnLxHlW0uqKkpmgwf_e4yYWyT3D1G51h21CYe-GtcdjloS-Xs2hkH6NZxaHLSYigFiO9S9KsDBZ6zhdQ-Y-_u92UgVOlXF0dKVvRl4ejQ65Zw8r365l-6C02Sev1LyMdY7uR2rjugKal-GQUj7Q6RMpxlg1u9fzGixDY/s16000/20150305_071901%20(1).jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>I had considered combining all 4 panels into a single book cover, kind of like this:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqh2iaqz9CPfdOWBhwZcGjkeCTGxOau_QawgFKNi0D_BB4__oyqYj7ciVpY5AFWiNypRorGeIElrwMeVe27esxSk6UaNjDOijOk0q3rCfyyzWmtVCX4mHsQDeXoAlDes4YkF8py5JW6DxP0353mDtLdZzgWq4p_V5asM3opCgd--SvsXeIsgnY7U79/s475/38272.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqh2iaqz9CPfdOWBhwZcGjkeCTGxOau_QawgFKNi0D_BB4__oyqYj7ciVpY5AFWiNypRorGeIElrwMeVe27esxSk6UaNjDOijOk0q3rCfyyzWmtVCX4mHsQDeXoAlDes4YkF8py5JW6DxP0353mDtLdZzgWq4p_V5asM3opCgd--SvsXeIsgnY7U79/s16000/38272.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>But there was one problem: the character in the bottom left panel. His presence on the cover would be a spoiler, kind of like if Bruno appeared front and center on the poster for <i><a href="https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=cd026b201b2a5888JmltdHM9MTY3NTM4MjQwMCZpZ3VpZD0yODA4OTcwZC0xOTAwLTY0NzctMjMzZC04NWEwMThhODY1MDYmaW5zaWQ9NTE3Nw&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=2808970d-1900-6477-233d-85a018a86506&psq=encanto+disney&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9tb3ZpZXMuZGlzbmV5LmNvbS9lbmNhbnRv&ntb=1" target="_blank">Encanto</a></i>. I guess that's why I never pursued that concept early on. Instead, I decided to give each character their own variant cover with the pills in the background for branding, in addition to a cover design only featuring pills. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTIlnnPiofdKsI4idvC7ieDxM0T1ueOiSbdqcrnOvTo5Jyu7DSBmAXwjF5x6QZTs-4_iTH_EL5CLAyHo3Yoh55kbbMKog96WREOmQBDX8GZrZQCqN5DdpZb8-bGA34sNDgSbTkliKDyHOlTvgvkggyoiMQmzKci3Noo2ssYRcd2Jvk6t6YS6YQbHO/s1200/bitter%20pill%20covers%20-%20all%204.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTIlnnPiofdKsI4idvC7ieDxM0T1ueOiSbdqcrnOvTo5Jyu7DSBmAXwjF5x6QZTs-4_iTH_EL5CLAyHo3Yoh55kbbMKog96WREOmQBDX8GZrZQCqN5DdpZb8-bGA34sNDgSbTkliKDyHOlTvgvkggyoiMQmzKci3Noo2ssYRcd2Jvk6t6YS6YQbHO/s16000/bitter%20pill%20covers%20-%20all%204.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><div> </div><div>But even after all that work, I knew as an artist that there was no one right answer, just a myriad of other ways I could illustrate my covers, and that inspiration could strike at any time.

That design is basically the same as the old cover, with the addition of my award sticker. Just the act of opening up the file to make those small updates got me thinking about what else I could do. I knew I could do more, but at the same time, I wasn't in the mood to come up with an entirely new concept.

Exhibitors that seem to have a perennial presence stop showing up and new ones emerge to take their place. Companies merge or go out of business. And of course trends are always changing.</p><p>Change has been inevitable in the past few years. It's been interesting to see the changes that organizations have made juxtaposed with the areas in which they stubbornly remain the same. I am referring, once again, to the current trend I most despise: pretending that the pandemic is over and everything's "normal" again. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDyIBvTGDKuWnhFuGJYuEe85IsUS1TRK55956oXJFg6gzU-TDInwPnj9SbVj6e5kCdOdEtR6Fu0lzy2nJWyJCkQPWZ_wZVevVqgHkYrYFxwRXcDxE4zU14kJ-RxvRMvqC3_3cuYGFvQBNu0HinEpCp4CstO6cySokLDhTndILHRNgLpMkeDbb_5O0W/s745/Screenshot_20230613-100110_Chrome%20-%20500.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDyIBvTGDKuWnhFuGJYuEe85IsUS1TRK55956oXJFg6gzU-TDInwPnj9SbVj6e5kCdOdEtR6Fu0lzy2nJWyJCkQPWZ_wZVevVqgHkYrYFxwRXcDxE4zU14kJ-RxvRMvqC3_3cuYGFvQBNu0HinEpCp4CstO6cySokLDhTndILHRNgLpMkeDbb_5O0W/s16000/Screenshot_20230613-100110_Chrome%20-%20500.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p>This is the way things are done nowadays, I suppose. No masks, just vibes. We are expected to live in a polite state of denial. I thought design was supposed to be about problem-solving, but how can you solve a problem when you pretend it doesn't exist? Anyway, that's a topic for another blog post.

More than just an epiphany for that particular project, "make something real" has become this year's theme for me.</p><p>I have become disenchanted with the latest advances in technology. It seems like the notions of digital/virtual/artificial/augmented when it comes to images, intelligence, and reality itself have overtaken everything else. So far I'm not impressed with the metaverse, or <a href="https://tiffanygholar.blogspot.com/2022/05/nft-not-for-tiffany.html" target="_blank">NFTs</a>, or <a href="https://tiffanygholar.blogspot.com/2023/01/the-hand-of-artist.html" target="_blank">A.I. "art."</a> I need to get away from screens sometimes. I need to work with my hands. So what if it's messy.</p><p>Like its predecessors in this style, <i>Make Something Real</i> is the result of years of accumulation. An aluminum palette that probably dates back to 2019, paint skins, and paint that dried in various tubes and bottles when I was away from my studio in 2020 and 2021 all make up the entirety of this colorful assemblage. The support is a framed cradled wood board from the Artist and Craftsman Supply on Wabash that we lost in 2020.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyBAvDFxv5JBVwdKQ6yFy1Mjuepa0mJczxbURm5RpGLEW9PF3aD38hI3tfgzbPCxOCE0GULTYMKy-RTTCA0PypuzZZSH-rMGncb0ltB3Y5CUaMrQWaS-oSQp-H6iAAOH_r5hGUlBAWfVEI-m5YSqY2Yg4gmTFe_Ee-rdF-YshDGZxq24MWMPxBaKHy/s3024/20230505_175841-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyBAvDFxv5JBVwdKQ6yFy1Mjuepa0mJczxbURm5RpGLEW9PF3aD38hI3tfgzbPCxOCE0GULTYMKy-RTTCA0PypuzZZSH-rMGncb0ltB3Y5CUaMrQWaS-oSQp-H6iAAOH_r5hGUlBAWfVEI-m5YSqY2Yg4gmTFe_Ee-rdF-YshDGZxq24MWMPxBaKHy/s16000/20230505_175841-01.jpeg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSiP-R4oyiZpi1BqG2AJZxgQ4nPoEqziXwmJ_20jcK1qxynMZd9GujXfv71Sn5EuDItYaCMyueQNF8jWgypncKVbjZ4uuQrnamk5aNy8h9ug3jUMR9NLxpHkj-mJgmT4ZUBJ0lNEqXMr5bgknwsWs7k9LfKYYJA6_WVcZXKUR0P2vp5pRCSwcOp8Ry/s3024/20230505_175844-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSiP-R4oyiZpi1BqG2AJZxgQ4nPoEqziXwmJ_20jcK1qxynMZd9GujXfv71Sn5EuDItYaCMyueQNF8jWgypncKVbjZ4uuQrnamk5aNy8h9ug3jUMR9NLxpHkj-mJgmT4ZUBJ0lNEqXMr5bgknwsWs7k9LfKYYJA6_WVcZXKUR0P2vp5pRCSwcOp8Ry/s16000/20230505_175844-01.jpeg" width="500" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I thought I hadn't made much art this year and was less productive than I was last year, and then I removed the blank wood boards that were laying on top of this piece and realized that it was almost done.

In addition to the sense of disappointment and defeat, there's the grueling process of getting my art from car trunk to sixth floor studio. Typically that process has involved tracking down a dolly of some kind, then making sure I stack my artwork gently so it doesn't get damaged, but not so loosely that it all slides off in route to my studio. Fortunately, I just found a solution that makes the process much easier: a folding commercial laundry cart!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTyOy3OCbsDHlq7vEBE9KvgzboG0K7FVBXvS5NbFL0RED08CbE4TGlh8Z6heaVtcQGb4ydhu7zD7Zorr72cv0-pRGTcQRcOUTkUfKkUS-mpTz-Svctju5X9u5eMqelCLQojxbzMad01skBHl3_27chvSKsA9RfuHksAiLCqKXahc4Yv6ykmVnARwjs/s1500/81fQGW0P-3L._SL1500_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTyOy3OCbsDHlq7vEBE9KvgzboG0K7FVBXvS5NbFL0RED08CbE4TGlh8Z6heaVtcQGb4ydhu7zD7Zorr72cv0-pRGTcQRcOUTkUfKkUS-mpTz-Svctju5X9u5eMqelCLQojxbzMad01skBHl3_27chvSKsA9RfuHksAiLCqKXahc4Yv6ykmVnARwjs/s320/81fQGW0P-3L._SL1500_.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>Measuring 35.7" deep, 24.1" wide and 34.6" high, it's very easy to push. The wheels can turn in every direction, unlike the ones on the dollies I've had to use. And it can fold down to just 7 inches wide when not in use! I think I may have been inspired by the college students that I see moving in and out of their downtown dorms because they often use a cardboard version of this to transport their belongings. </p><p>Now that I've brought all my art safely back to my studio, I just need to get it out of my laundry cart and into some <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MixedMediaArtDesign" target="_blank">virtual shopping carts</a>.<br /></p>Tiffany Gholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12979768952670661700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-90346451009059624412023-04-16T15:03:00.003-05:002023-04-16T15:03:57.443-05:00The 2023 EXPO Chicago show<p>This was my first year back at the <a href="https://www.expochicago.com/visit" target="_blank"><b>EXPO Art Fair</b></a> since the pandemic began. Though there were numerous events on the days leading up to the show as well as during the show, because of my continued vigilance about not spending a lot of time indoors around unmasked people, I did not attend them. I didn't spend as much time at the show as I would have pre-pandemic. But I managed to see a lot of artwork and wanted to share pictures of the pieces I liked. Whenever possible, I included the names of the artists or galleries, but there were a few that I missed.<br /></p><p> <br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Pretending that it's over, and wondering why everything still feels off somehow. We are supposed to accept the horror of catching COVID multiple times as something inevitable and possibly beneficial. Asking for stronger vaccines to be developed makes us ingrates. Asking other people to wear masks is asking too much. These expectations have left me feeling contempt, resentment, and a sense of refusal to comply. </p><p>You want to look at me like I'm crazy for wearing a face shield?
