    Dada, Deceit, Darkness and Delight with Dr. Dilworth

    Dr. Jacqueline Dilworth is a a poet and writer of poems who plays, writes them as well as stories and non-fiction, and translates old French texts.

She's also the Mayor of the celebrated NadaDada Performance art series. .  In this episode we discuss what is, DADA, the role of deceit, theft, and fabrication vs, found art, the confluences of thinking dualistically about Darkness vs light and why she's drawn to the one over the other, hiding stories in performance art, and of course, her muppet analog.

    Mapping Place and Time with LisaRuth Elliott

    LisaRuth Elliott is a visual artist using found material to create her paper collages. She is also a fiber artist, weaver, experimenter of plant dyes on textiles, and public muralist. Inspired by beauty in the textures and patterns around her and what has been cast aside, she transforms the banal into new and dynamic combinations showcasing human occupation. She is prompted by the stories and landscape of San Francisco, of Yelamu and its creatures, as she learns about and stewards unceded Ramaytush Ohlone land as an urban farmer and is deeply interested in the exploration and understanding of place. It infuses all of her work, from being a public historian to creating art. In this episode we discuss what's unique in the landscapes that offer gifts of materials for creative composition, both found and grown.  We also discuss seasonality and sustainability of native plant materials in landscapes, and the fact that tracking changes through time is a part of the process, listening to the materials, and having conversations through abstract/ non-representational art. You can find and support her current and future offerings through her website: www.lisaruthcreates.com more up to date work on IG at @lisaruthcreates or @sfurbanwanderer.

    Finding Your Audience with Costello Darling- double length

    Costello Darling identifies as a maker more than an artist and sees the ways things COULD be done. and questions the way 'Most People' do things is often unknown to him. They make things that he wants personally and that 'Most People' don't seem to know to want yet (because they don't exist) like a ukulele with the size and strings of a guitar. ** They make more traditional art around the given audience of a moment with the experience made as a reflection of that interaction. His focus is on performance art, and temporal art for the moment, about sharing experiences across many senses are some of the many ways he makes.  Fashion: Man in layered skirts look/ DIY sleeves for listeners Projects have included: * Food: DIY braised meat / DIY Mandala cake, * Burning Man Porta Pottie Beacons : Art FAIL, * Human Powered Trebuchet. * Burning Teeter Totter called The Hotter Totter, * Mask making before the CDC figured out airborne disease is spread through coughing,* Snow angel / Snow arm, *information tables in public spaces, and more.  In this episode, Costello and I explore expectations of what elements of daily life CAN be art, what role whimsy plays in making things, and tailoring art to the perceptions of the audience, the time, and place in which one finds it, why we do it, what's important when you're your own audience, and what is the art of the moment.  Costello Darling can be found on YouTube.com/CostelloReflections, and Facebook/ social media platforms, and anywhere they happen to be. Special thanks to Richard Mandel for intro music.
