The British artist is as deeply personal as ever in her first London exhibition in five years, reflecting on loss, mourning, insomnia and spiritual love at White Cube Bermondsey
OK, just one more post about my new studio and then that is it. I promise. When I decided to steal this studio from Doug, storage was very high on the pro side. There is knee wall storage on both sides of the room (41"x35') accessible by two doors on each side. Handy, yet just awkward enough because of the sloped ceilings and low doors that I have gotten more than a few bruises while going in and out of the space. However, most of my injuries have been inflicted due to my not paying attention as well as the size of my butt. Heh. After the space was sprayed with the foam insulation and then having the attic floor sanded (the floors inside the storage space did NOT get sanded, I didn't have the nerve to ask the poor floor guy to do that), the floors were pretty dirty. So I paid my 13 year old son to get in there on his hands and knees to sweep out and then again to wash the floors before I started moving stuff in. Best $30 investment ever! Anyway, I have loaded the space up with the things that need to be handy, but not on a daily basis. In one door I have packing supplies: boxes (both new and used), bubble wrap rolls as well as two bins full of used bubble wrap (I reuse everything) and a few bags full of wadded paper and those air bags that I often receive in boxes of supplies that get shipped to my house. This looks messier than it actually is: On the other end of the same space, just inside the other door, I have two bins of older work that has not sold, yet is too good to sand down: some bins of the cotton rags I use when I do underpaintings and a few more shipping related things. The styrofoam corners were a particularly good score from the project table shipment: Across the room, in the other space I put my eight bins of yarn (gulp, yes I used to be a bit compulsive about buying yarn and now I have an insane amount of yarn in storage), my sewing machine which I seldom use but that makes me feel grown up when I do: and boxes of our family photographs and negatives which are now nearly extinct since we have gone digital in the last few years. I also keep my bins of show notices and other printed stuff relating to the exhibitions that I have participated in over the last five years. Further down are several boxes of junk which had been stored in the attic before we did this project and since we couldn't find a better place to store any of it (barn AND garage is full-I think we need to have a yard sale:)) we just decided to put them back into the attic. The access door to the storage that is located at the top of the stairs has the electrical panel right inside, so there isn't much I can put into that side, although I suspect I eventually will, out of sheer desperation, toss a few odd items in there, off to the left where there is a bit of room: These boxes are to the right of the electric panel: I still have a lot of space on each side for more junk although I am trying to not fill it all up. I know, I know, famous last words..... Oh and on a completely unrelated note go visit Melody's blog to read her account of her family's visit to our home last week. We had a great evening and both Doug and I think that Melody and her family are at least as cool as we are. Heh.

Tracy Anderson is maybe the only person on earth who could find something to improve on Gwyneth Paltrow's body (see evidence here) and she's also responsible for preserving Jennifer Lopez's famous curves. The creator of the Tracy Anderson Method workout knows how to perfect any body, and working out is only half the battle. She reveals her best eating and diet secrets below, plus three delicious, healthy recipes she swears by. Secret 1: Load up on blueberries and kale: They can be used in a hundred ways! "Blueberries are a true superfood, full of antioxidants—so it's not just a load of sugar, and you can literally put them in any recipe combo, whether it be a salad with protein, a smoothie for breakfast, with your favorite Greek yogurt, or alone as a snack." About kale, Anderson says, "I don't know how many people think kale tastes great, but I think it's delicious, and there are so many ways of preparing it that you literally cannot go wrong. Besides having loads of antioxidants and vitamin C and promoting healthy digestion, kale is believed to be a carcinogen blocker. Blend it in your breakfast smoothie (with berries, your favorite milk, and my
Tracy Deonn’s #1 New York Times bestselling Legendborn Cycle continues in the sensational third book about a dazzling contemporary fantasy world that blends Southern Black Girl Magic with secret societies and the legend of King Arthur! Severed from the Legendborn. Oathbound to a monster. Bree Matthews is alone. She exiled herself from the Legendborn Order, cut her ancestral connections, and turned away from the friends who can’t understand the impossible cost of her powers. This is the only way to keep herself—and those she loves—safe. But Bree’s decision has come with a terrible price: an unbreakable bargain with the Shadow King himself, a shapeshifter who can move between humanity, the demon underworld, and the Legendborn secret society. In exchange for training to wield her unprecedented abilities, Bree has put her future in the Shadow King’s hands—and unwittingly bound herself to do his bidding as his new protégé. Meanwhile, the other Scions must face war with their Round Table fractured, leaderless, and missing its Kingsmage, as Selwyn has also disappeared. When Nick is detained by the Order’s Merlins, he invokes an ancient law that requires the High Council of Regents to convene at the Northern Keep and grant him an audience. No one knows what he will demand of them…or what secrets he has kept hidden from the Table. As a string of mysterious kidnappings escalates and Merlins are found dead, it becomes clear that no matter how hard Bree runs from who she is, the past will always find her.
