We hit the road early at 6am to avoid the heat, and made it to York in great time... not to jinx ourselves, but we're sort of getting used to the hills. We are staying at Altman visiting artist residence courtesy of Prof. Tony Wright's friends Tut and Harry Riddick. They started this amazing space about 20 years ago, and it is now absolutely full of beautiful art works of every shape size and medium. The facility is made up a several restored storefronts from the turn of the last century.
Our host is an outspoken and generous lady named Marilyn Gordon. She is a fiber artist from Mobile, and travels to York to work and collaborate with her long time collaborative and creative partner Lilly. You will be able to see their work on display at the Northland College Gallery beginning around Thanksgiving time this fall. The work consists of beautiful hand-made jackets, and other clothing items that have been reclaimed from various material sources.
After a long nap, huge supper and great conversation we're ready for a full nights rest. Its been a long day, and being as we have to be up at 5am, its lights out at 10pm.
