Weekend in Mentone

Little River in DeSoto State Park, Northwestern Alabama


Last weekend I stayed in a cabin in quaint Mentone, AL by myself. I wrote, read, played guitar, rode my new electric bike, walked, and watched sunsets from the Brow (the edge of Lookout Mountain, right outside my door.) I also attended a few contra dances at FOOTMAD's annual outrageously fun open-air dance hall weekend. Vacations really don't get any better.



A good rock wall near my cabin.



The first falls at DeSoto Falls, about 3 miles fro Mentone.



The second falls...quite a majestic drop.



The chewing gum tree outside the dining hall at Camp Riverview, where the contra dance was held.



Some interesting tree fungus found on one of my trail hikes in DeSoto State Park.



What in the blue blazes?



Water on a rock.



A reindeer moss forest.

He lived on a hill above a bend in a creek where a Creek Village reportedly existed long ago, and he wanted a historically accurate representation of what the village might have looked like from his house. His home is near Talladega, Alabama.  I did months of research. With the help of the now late Miriam Fowler who worked at the Birmingham Museum of Art, I pulled together the image with references to the customs, culture, and village layout. I also used as a reference "Bartram's Travels" written by William Bartram, a detailed description of encounters with Native Americans in 1791. It is one of the very few bits of info about the lives of the Creeks back then. (As noted in Wikipedia, the original title to Bartram's book is:  Travels through North and South Carolina, Georgia, East and West Florida, the Cherokee Country, the Extensive...

Featured Artist at the ALCC: Chris Gryder

The Alabama Clay Conference , to be held in February, 2012 in Birmingham (and hosted by my husband, ceramic artist Scott Bennett) will feature three well-known ceramic artists who will give all-day demonstrations and exhibit their work.  Here is the work of Chris Gryder, one of the featured artists. I've included an article below about his work, a piece I wrote for Ceramics Monthly magazine, November 2006. I'll blog about the other two artists in the next couple days.  Negative Impact The Work of Chris Gryder Chris Gryder began his exploration of art by studying architecture. A sincere and dedicated commitment to the subject led to his acquaintance with artists, methods, and concepts that later became the inspiration for his work in sculpture and clay. From the visionary designs of Antonio Gaudi and the philosophy of Louis Sullivan to experimental work in mold-making for architectural pieces, Gryder pieced together a singular aesthetic...
