Six Degrees of Harrell Fletcher

If you will indulge me for a moment (and oh, I do so love to be indulged!) before we pick up the thread of sustainable style in frocks and fripperies, I'd like to mention that I stopped by the Tamarind Gallery, nestled in the Land of Enchantment, for an art reception (yes, one comes for the nibbles, yet stays for the ink.)
Wandering about, looking upon master lithographs well-hung upon the walls, what should I discover but a work by that agent of change, Harrell  Fletcher, one of the many divine influences and muses of I Find Myself Wanting. I could go on in detail (buy me a drink and I will), but to read more, you're cordially invited to Pimp That Muse!: pimpthatmuse.blogspot.com.

It's Our Anniversary!

WHERE LONDON GOES FOR INSPIRATION

It is a year of contemplating and exploring the intersection of sustainability, culture, community, and art.

I Find Myself Wanting was birthed from a seminar at Portland State University with noted social practice artist/activist Harrell Fletcher. Fletcher is known for many reasons, and one of them is his witty and insightful public art projects.And when we speak of public art, we don't mean the musings of one individual to be consumed by the masses, but the public being brought into the making of the piece itself, as well as interacting with it in its place of exhibit -- a public venue.

HARRELL FLETCHER

It has been a year of discovery, delight, and of engaging in the enjoyment of one of the greatest resources there is: You.

It is with excitement that I anticipate our next year together. There will be ongoing explorations and contemplations of how we can choose to live lives with style and grace, wit and humor -- as we save/re-source/recycle/renew the things that touch us on our journey.

Such as the skin we're in. Literally. The next post will be in a week, and will be unwrapping the latest trend -- the avant-garde spectacle of fashions formed from re-purposed materials.

And that's a wrap.
