Lightning occurs when positive charges leap from the ground. And they mash the damn clouds. There is a storm that rages in everyone. It is deep within. It is without. It is, like, like thin paper. BOOM!

prints made by dipping an actual peony bloom in tempera paint and pressing it to the page. What a rush.
This is not an instance of the transitional turning subject into a mirror of  obsessions – the dimensions present not only originals, but, as an appendix, any number of variant translations from an earlier period (L’Âge Cassant) when conscious parallels roamed the earth.

 The Brittle Age (L’Âge Cassant) may look reminiscent of Stein’s Tender Buttons (& thus, by inference at least, Williams’ Kora in Hell: Improvisations), they’re nothing like them in tone or focus:

In fidelity we learn never to be consoled, not in the aesthetic sense that one might think of, but rather in the ethical one – where tingle has a lot in common with lime,  It is not simply his obsession with substance –  the Object is lime, but the degree to which language & voice are intertwined in human and/or alien thinking,
like a tiny Moebius strip in that the dangling Frigidaire is like a sword of Damocles hanging over a naked lunch counter, a radical gap between that open-faced sandwich  and crepes suzette.

This dissociation between public & private is paralleled by that alienation that transforms the vertigo of sheer terror, the unmarked ellipses of this earlier lime which indicate a litany of processes no less brutal than
roots that have become sculpture, wood that appears talisman, and so on: charms, amulets maybe, but never really such things since the struggles so to speak that made them become, say, a pink peony print in the lower right-hand corner. In this regard the currents appear entirely natural. Their chronology is of interest only to those who analyse carbon fractions etc., who love limes, since they too, considering nature as citrus, are no doubt accurate in, at least (if nothing else), their boundless curiosity.

The best thing to do is cancel any travel if winter weather will occur.

Her work with The MakeSpace has been highlighted in The Burg, Central Voice, Harrisburg Magazine, The Patriot News, ABC27, Keystone Edge, and Fresh Photography's blog. As an artist, Laribee established the Recovering/Uncovering Art Co.

An interest in using the whole buffalo has shaped her creative process, and she works almost exclusively with salvaged materials with focuses mainly on cardboard portraiture, repurposed handcrafts, photography, and found poetry.

Her artwork has been shown widely in the Keystone State, including an exhibit at the Philadelphia Mausoleum of Contemporary Art. She also teaches workshops and classes on recycled art, creative writing, and poetry to students of all ages.

Though Laribee’s traveled to many a foreign clime, she takes great pleasure in her current geographic tenure smack in the heart of the Capital City of the great state of Pennsylvania.
