Begun during my adventures overseas, the Female Expat Project began as a collection of artworks about female expatriates and their original ideas about place. On the flip side of expatriates' nomadic lifestyles are contemporary nesting instincts—also explored in this blog. Really it's a publicly available sketchbook in the cloud supporting my artwork. http://joelledietrick.com

Manny Farber
Had to mention this quote from Manny Farber in his book Negative Space..."Good work usually arises when the creators... seem to have no ambitions towards gilt culture but are involved in a kind of squandering-beaverish endeavor that isn't anywhere or anything... It goes always forward eating its own boundaries, and, likely as not, leaves nothing in its path other than the signs of eager, industrious, unkempt activity."

Florida State University Phil Stenberg recently suggested that I look Los Angeles-based writer Geoff Manaugh 's blog about architecture and unusual ideas about space at http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/.
I think I'm addicted.
