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

Another recommendation is my new favorite blog at http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/ Many thanks to FSU Geography Professor Phil Steinberg for this recommendation. Scroll down to read about Takis Zenetos. I see a cable city in my artmaking future.

Many thanks to Elisabeth Condon for her lecture last night at FSU. Check out her work at http://www.elisabethcondon.com. It's extraordinary and especially impressive after her move to Florida. Who knew warm weather could increase a flurry of creative activity? I thought that we all assumed the reverse. My favorite new phrase from her talk—rolodex space.
Her Parasol House series reminds me of my favorite show seen over the winter break—Al Held at Casey Kaplan. Those paintings were ahead of their time.
