Each blog is made while traveling:
PARIS - I lived in Paris, near Republique in the Marais, for 3 months in the summer of 2012 with my family while my husband commuted to work daily, 2 hours each way. I took the kids to parks, bakeries, galleries, museums, churches, pastry shops, the Catacombs, Eiffel Tower, Louvre and fairs. We spent a week in the south of France in an amazing millhouse. I took the train to Kassel to see the Documenta, which was the best Documenta I have ever seen. All of this and more is archived photographically.
HIROSHIMA – I lived in Hiroshima for 3 months in the summer of 2008 with my family while my husband walked 1 minute downhill from our 1947 dormitory to his research fellowship at RERF (Radiation Effects Research Foundation). I took the kids to the International YMCA every day and worked on my After Hiroshima project – cyanotypes, rubbings and autoradiographs of A-bombed artifacts and surfaces. I returned in 2011 for a solo exhibition of the work at an A-bombed bank that is now a cultural art center.
LYON – I lived in Lyon for 6 months with my family while my husband took the metro to work every day at the World Health Organization's International Agency for the Research of Cancer (IARC). I drove the kids to the International School of Lyon every day and researched the French resistance to the Nazis. Lyon was the center of the Resistance. As an Artist-in-Residence at URDLA, I made etchings about Occupation and Resistance, using maps, heads and text. We took many local trips, including Provence, had guests and ate like kings.
