To cap off the time I spent in the headlands drawing the ocean and cliffs of rodeo cove, I made a map for sharing. I walked the paths of the cove with a giant piece of paper, folding it over and over and drawing as I made my way across the hills. This drawing surveying charting experience was redrawn and designed into the map which you see above. It's been printed as an 11x17 piece of parchment, and it has an intended use...
On sunday May 10th, mothers day, from noon to sundown, you can use this map to explore rodeo cove and discover a sprinkling of sparkling installations and performances and offerings by the likes of hannah barr-dichiara, drew bennet, canyon cinema, coconut, andrew connors, chris duncan, zach huston, inca ore, ruth kneass, amy mosley, kelly nicholson, meara o'reilly (avocet), maggie otero, pale hoarse, jesse schlesinger, stephen somple, lydia west, and more to come.
If you would like a copy of the map, we're trying to collect $5 to cover some costs. Here's a paypal button, or you can send an email inquiry to ribbonspublications[at]gmail[dot]com...a map will appear at your door.
thanks to everyone for following themselves out to and through the headlands yesterday. and thanks of course to everyone who contributed creative attention and energy to the day. all beautiful efforts, so happy to share in them. if you have some photographs, please pass them along (ribbonspublications(at)gmail(dot)com), it'd be really nice to collect some of the different paths and sights you all found. 
hope to see you in the headlands on sunday...should be a beauty. like i say, head on down to Rodeo Beach, find the papier maché driftwood shack, get a map, and find the days delights.
but seriously, let's keep things in perspective, sunday is mother's day. let this snowflake that my first grader friend victoria made be an emblem for the love and respect due to moms. 
Eric Wolfinger, one of Tartine's bakers and a talented photographer took these photos the other morning. Pretty fancy, huh? Thanks Eric!

this is andy when andy and jamie and i went to the beach yesterday. jamie found the poseidon in him with this pic.
I had such a nice time last night sharing the new things, thanks everyone! the show will be up for the next month, so you can go have an almond croissant and a coffee and pretend you're at the beach. 
Friends, I have an art show opening on wednesday. It's called Open Endless, it's drawings of the ocean and of the cliffs at Rodeo Cove in the Marin Headlands. It's about letting go of ends. I've been working on these drawings for the past 8 months. Almost enough for building a baby. I made a twenty two foot wide watercolor of the ocean. I made a very small drawing of the sand.
