Ripple

Yes She Does © Catherine Rutgers 2019

On Saturday, June 7, 2014, sometime in the vicinity of 3 o’clock in the afternoon, I finished scouring my stove. I had used a toothbrush, a knife, a sponge, paper towels, powdered cleanser, and vigorous elbow grease. It was as clean as clean could be. Astonishingly clean. Very ready for a portrait of domestic bliss.

That August, I published the soundless video Space Rangers. You can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/104451876. Eight minutes, forty-three seconds of very much strangeness. It’s one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen.

Four years later, the “ripple” post got started. And now it’s done.

Five fresh pieces, submitted for “Art in the Loft,” an annual exhibit at Millbrook Vineyards & Winery in conjunction with Arts Mid-Hudson. The past post was a touch gloomy. Yes, it’s time to lighten up! Forthwith, appearing above, Fresh Start, Savory Plush, Indigo Bliss, Relativity Greens, and Copper Cantata. This art is © Catherine Rutgers 2019 and transported to you on the blustery breezes of April.

Concepts for Main Street

Poughkeepsie Gateway Concept 01 © Catherine Rutgers 2018 Gateway Apron Detail 02 © Catherine Rutgers 2018 Poughkeepsie Gateway Concept 03 © Catherine Rutgers 2018 Gateway Apron Detail 04 © Catherine Rutgers 2018 Poughkeepsie Gateway Concept 05 © Catherine Rutgers 2018
Shown above, my ideas for the Poughkeepsie Gateway, an “art intervention” for the Route 9 underpass on Main Street, near the Hudson River. The project was sponsored by Arts Mid-Hudson, O+ and the Poughkeepsie Alliance. You can watch a video of the unveiling celebration for winning muralist Risa Tochigi (aka Boogie) here. Just by lucky happenstance, I got to meet Ms. Tochigi on a very hot summer day while she was working on the almost completed Gateway. Cheers!
