    The climate has ALWAYS been changing ever since Earth formed. The amount of anti-intellectualism about climate is really, really weird. I have to wonder if this is a mental illness caused by fear and hatred for the natural world. It's also possibly a fear of change, fear over a lack of control. Here's the thing...humans do not control this planet. We never have and never will. Nature is a powerful force that humans should respect, but nature is not an enemy. We need to live in harmony with this planet; and you don't do that by hating it.

    It satisfies on a primal level. You hit it, it falls, you eat. Simple enough, when you break it down. Its an Auroch hunt. Making that beautiful and fantastic and everything a child fantasizes of, now THAT is the art form. The art of making pure happiness.

    Just saw the Basie band in Minneapolis. I don't know much about trumpets but I knew that one was special. Looked verrrry different than others I'd seen. Asked the guy next to me; he knew. What a coincidence I could watch this!

    I am rather moved. The film shows very well how quilts have played an important role in the story of the USA, serving as powerful means of expression, yet practical items. The are rich with stories, reflecting the lives of those who made them. Also, it's incredible to see how this tradition continues today, with contemporary artists bringing their perspectives. These quilts are not just pieces of art; they are important reminders of history and heritage. The film does a wonderful job.

    I'm very inspired by Syd Carpenter's perspective. Her mention about not feeling like a master craftsperson because she is constantly learning is a refreshing reminder that even the most skilled artists continually evolve. She clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience and her work is stunning and unique. I am particularly interested in the stories behind each piece and would love to learn more about her inspirations. Truly an inspiring artist with a lot to say, both through her words and her work.

    Nice nod to Thomas Dambo and his giant trolls made from pallet wood. He also made many fanciful sculptures from plastic trash as part of large, festive event spaces in his native Denmark. I love Calder's work!

    That “this is what world peace looks like” comment totally blew me away as well. These people are just as beautiful as the items they’re creating, and each one has their personal story. Crafters are the most authentic and compassionate souls that there are.
