Notes in money envelopes. 29MAY2010 (edited: 19JUL2010)
Inherent in human migration is human capital flight, also known as "Brain drain". People who leave one country, economic sector, or field for another take with them knowledge that has value, including memories and skills. In this project, two sets of money envelopes, that have been hand painted and printed with either Monarch wing patterns or Milkweed blossoms (a food source of Monarchs), will be used to form configurations reminiscent of migration. The envelopes will also serve as vehicles for the exchange of memories.

I was happy for the opportunity to make a commissioned piece for a previous collector and friend. This is the first piece i've ever been commissioned to do (i think).

What is what. 11FEB2009
Well, if you're here you've already figured out that I'm no longer at www.deborahcarroll.net.
I'm a little hurt it got taken, but in the end it's obviously my fault for not checking my hotmail inbox more regularly to see that my bill was outstanding. And lord knows I'm not making a minimum bid of 480 bucks to get that thing back. So here I am propelled to finally move on and use my not-so-new-anymore last name. [more]

Origins and locality as they relate to culture (continued): Case in Point. 19JUL2007
Today a FedEx delivery came to my studio. As I answered the door, the inquisitive delivery man leaned to the side to take
a look behind me, as if he had spotted something that he owned inside the room (he was so curious-- and fast--
that I didn't even have time to decide whether i wanted to be indignant) [more]

Origins and locality as they relate to culture. 01JUL2007
Do we put unnecessary emphasis on cultural/ethnic origin in explaining why things should be done the way they're done?
...in other words, is the development of new, more dynamic micro-cultures too often
abandoned for more familiar but less effective practices? [more]

Culture emergence. 12JUL2007
I'm attracted to the idea of Emergence-- how
effect can possess properties that exceed, and differ from,
the sum of its constituent forces. I'm currently attempting to explore the potential
applicability and translations of the concept of Emergence to ideas of culture and migration, by way of an abstract
aesthetic. [more]
