This month I combined my daily work with quotes from artists I interviewed in two past projects, the Iowa Women Artists Oral History Project and Beyond 9-11: The Art of Renewal in Iowa. I compiled them in a manuscript I hoped to turn into a book called Just Make Art! The book hasn’t happened yet, but you can read some of the edited quotes in these daily pieces.
