oops I almost forgot about august. the main thing I remember is it was HOT. so much swimming. falling back in love with barton springs and the world under the water. the pervasive hot hot heat.

Recipe for a good summer is simple in my opinion: tend to the garden, tend to your relationships in equal measure, and take your worries to the river whenever possible.

I spent my weekend immersed in cultivating remembrance of Remembering, editing the countless treasurable moments of connection in bond & joy laid forth by @angeliska in her herald to her brilliant artist mother, Maggie Cook Polachek.

There is so much magnificent revival and tribute fostered in a Retrospective endeavor and Angel made sure that every possible facet and fragment of Maggie's beautiful visions & mind was available to the world at hand. She is a Torchbearer of this Magic!

Even further than that reach, she has ensured that the world at large may know the touch of Maggie's emphatic diligent focus and delicate heartfelt artistry through her funding opportunity which ends in 2 days!

I am adding a link so the many of you might get a chance to welcome Maggie's art into your life, or her story, through the memoir @angeliska is bringing forth! Angel is an otherwordly force to be experienced when it comes to the written word, storytelling, and spoken visions from her wellspring of life. Her talent draws you in, and seats you on a comfortable cushion, preparing you to open your heart to her powerful, beguiling, whimsical prose. She is an inspiration! I urge you to treat yourself to the journey her book promises!

A magical moment while closing up the gallery last night after Raphael Umscheid’s FATHOM opening. Angeliska walked in, and the lovely Bente saw that we simply had to get photos of Angeliska in front of this painting. It would have been tragic if we hadn’t because look at these pics!!! 😻 (I have dozens of pics to share from Angeliska’s exhibition of her mom Maggie’s work last weekend- stay tuned!) Bente, thank you for your presence at BFG- we missed you when you were in Norway ❤️

Each day being better than the one before it is a trend I would be thrilled to see take wing moving forward in time. I have this endeavor of art, borne of heart, legacy, and the longevity of love to thank for the peaks of joy that is a privilege to witness and take part in. Y'all really shouldn't miss the opportunity to harvest some of this aura for yourself, thanks to the Bestowed Curative and Restorative Benevolence of @angeliska & the Mind, Heart and Hands of her Mother, Maggie Cook Polachek. Art is Time Travel. We infuse our Creations with Our Selves. We Herald our Beloved Bodies in the Here & Now and in the Hereafter we Hearken to our Beloved Souls. What more Magic could you want knowing that sharing your Loving is the Bridge that connects us to Heaven from Earth?

Thankyou friends for being my friend 🫶🏻

Over the years I’ve let my lack of capturing most moments keep me from sharing many moments. Anyone else?

Well I’m getting over it!
Some moments, some magic some color 🍫🌀🪐

Just saw the most beautiful, moving, grounded yet whimsical art show. Angeliakas journey of grief and strength in her mission to honor her mother were truly magnificent

Y'all ever have one of those Austin experiences where you walk into a room full of energy and connections that feels like a thrum that wakes your Spirit up to full vitality? I've had nearly forty years of them, living here as a Native, and experiencing community coalescent at @angeliska 's art show opening last night was truly top tier in terms of Artistry, Visions of Love, evolutionary Aura & Abundance. Y'all should ABSOLUTELY avail yourself to come see Angel's Mother Maggie's curated collages and paintings, memorabilia, and experience her through the magic she gathered and brought to this World. Today & Tomorrow @ @blackfeathervintageworks from 12-9pm! Gather, Witness, Gaze, Ingest, Enjoy, Admire, Attest.

♾️Double Eternity: A Maggie Cook Polacheck Retrospective at BFG this weekend only ♾️

Today, 8/8, is the 40 year anniversary of Angeliska’s mother Maggie’s passing.

This retrospective exhibition is the first time all of Maggie’s paintings, collages and journals have been in one place.

Maggie was a painter, collage artist, silversmith, and musician in Austin’s hippie heyday.

Maggie was obsessed with Hank Williams, Black cowboys (like Nat Love and Bill Pickett), the intersection of psychedelia with the Pre-Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts movements at the turn of the century, and the country and western music scene at the Grand Ole Opry.

This is an EXQUISITELY BEAUTIFUL and evocative collection. Join us in the gallery today and tomorrow from 12-9. Music by @austinfriendstm this evening.
