1994 - Little Wavy Square

In my sister's yard in Yakima, I found several twisted branches cut from her old willow tree, reminding me of my "Very Wavey Squares" and "Tree Squares" that I created in my studio - mostly drawings and prints but also a few sculptures. From the willow branch I fashioned this very wavey square. Another willow, almost circular, is part of "Stone Phone", which you can see elsewhere in my collection of objects I put in the "ephemera" category. The wave square "head" is black, painted like part of a T-square and attached to the stem with screws. The original measures 12 5/8" long, 9" wide, 1 1/4" thick. I signed it on the underside "1990-1994".

Deep Emeralda:
Clare Livingstamp and Loop da Loo

Another page of my journal is taken into a private art collection, and that fact inspires me to think about how Emeralda Works in surprising ways. The new owner has been working Saturdays on many of the same questions I am asking, and is testing Emeralda.
