Necklace by Crystal Landucci, photo Paula Reis

Jewelry designer Crystal Landucci will be the featured artist at this month’s “Meet & Greet” at Second Street Gallery in Bandon. On Saturday and Sunday June 29th and 30th from noon to 4pm, Landucci will set up a mini-jewelry workshop in the gallery and will be working on several different pieces. One is a necklace called “Blue Nile”, another “Queen of Hearts” and a third, which features gemstone talons, is called “Dangerous”.

Landucci’s pieces incorporate hand-forged sterling silver, brass, and bronze wire and sheet metal as well as semi-precious stones and found objects such as nuts and bolts, coins, charms, teeth, game tokens, and assorted flotsam and jetsam. “I like jewelry that is entertaining and meaningful to the wearer – and, of course, it has to be beautiful too!”

Crystal is mostly self-taught but has also taken classes from Kristin Mitsu Shiga at Oregon College of Arts and Crafts in Portland and Veneta Stender and Anne Sobbota at Sage Gallery in Bandon. She was “hugely inspired” by ttending a show of Alexander Calder’s work in New York City that included many of his jewelry and circus themed pieces a few years back. Her work can be seen exclusively at Second Street Gallery in Bandon, although she will be having a show at the Bandon Library in October.

Expectations

Come-on admit it, you really expected to get juried in to that show at the National Reserve Water Color, Pastel and Espresso Machine Open in Petaluma and now that you didn’t you are annoyed, confused and just howsomeever pissed off.

That’s a mature, adult response to failed expectations.

And of course, no matter how mature and adult we happen to be, we all do it. It just ain’t right when you get your heart set on a thing not to get it.

That’s why the United States is awash in credit card debit, bad politics and horrible reality shows, we want what we want when we want it and nothing else will do.

See that’s the magic of a credit card, you can have anything your credit limit allows and not have to give a thought to how you are going to pay for it until the end of the month.

Ya need three cars, two boats and Jet Ski a snow mobile and stereo so large that it can be heard from outer space and when you crank in the amp the lights dim in Buffalo. Okay, given that Buffalo has ConEd the lights just might dim on their own but you know what I mean. Big toys make for a lot of comfort and joy with little thought to what was missing for you to need the comfort and joy.

And reality television, oh yeah, trash sports for those who love to compete but have not so much as a single athletic bone in their entire family tree. You know you could win the Amazing Race if you were entered, or what about Survivor? All that takes is a willingness to be filthy for six weeks and wear a bikini. I won’t say a word about politics. I haven’t earned the right to complain. I come from Texas where the only political movement is from radical conservative to Nazi.

So are you ready to take a minute and think about why our expectations have gotten so far from the real world that Big Brother is a show and not a phrase coined by George Orwell?

You know that creative arts is an area where the best job you can do with the finest materials and the most attention to detail and craft matters not one whit? What you create is going to be judged by someone else and their opinion is going to be a lot more important than yours.

Yeah it does suck.

But that’s just the way it is. It’s a lot like falling into the hands of the Croakers. Once they get you they will never let you go. They’ll just keep finding things which are wrong and need more attention and they can do it if only you will give up your rights and allow them to poke and prod you like a side of beef being sized up by the butcher.

Now I am no big fan of the Quacks and I get tired, depressed and annoyed when they find something else wrong with me that needs another coupla thousand dollars and a few more trips to Fairbanks where the only Quack in North America who can possibly deal with the bend in my gizzard lives and he never comes down to the Lower Forty-eight so I have to go there or just shrivel up and die.

Well that’s a cheery thought. Of course if I hadn’t allowed my expectations to run wild and forecast, with no apparent reason and no medical training, that I would be attending art openings in Coos Bay by the end of June and any thing to the contrary is just wrong and cannot be allowed.

Hmmmmmmm? Guess that isn’t going to happen. And that guys is the same story with expectations in all areas. They don’t have much to do with reality, reality shows to the contrary, (although I’ve never really understood why one would want to be stranded on a God-forsaken island with just a dozen or so arch-enemies, a television film crew, and a ratty bikini. Really if I’m going into snake, bug and pest infested swamps, forests and other hell holes I want a full bush kit with some good boots so that I don’t offer a snack to whatever local vermin happens to be lurking around wanting to wriggle in through my pores, orifices or others avenues of egress. I am not a parasite open zone!), expectations can make a tiny loss a major catastrophe.

And the hard part is we all have them all of the time. The worst of it happens when we are in our teens and discover the other bunch of folks, you know the ones we want to date and chase and do other stuff with, like talk about important esoteric metaphysical claptrap so that we can stay up all night and have a great reason to miss that eight o’clock class we didn’t want to sign up for but it was the only one left and ya can’t drop it cause once its paid for you have to tough it out or the school will send a notification to your parents and then you won’t have a car next semester so it is best to stick it out and just cut as many classes as you can without actually getting an incomplete.

Expectations make you think you’ll be the top choice when there is every chance the juror ill skip right over you and pick that cow thing and you just don’t understand how that could happen but the people who selected the jurors did such a miserable job that you got stuck with this lame bunch and they like cows go figure.

Expectations need to be worked on so that they inspire you to do top quality work, to be proud of what you create and to believe in your own talent, but then let them go and wart someone else. The false ones, the ones which make you think the juror will do what you want instead of what they were going to do anyway, them you can do without.

Don’t Sweat The Big Stuff

The car lost its transmission, the kid has skipped the last forty days of school, the dog just passed out on the front porch and the doctor’s office called and said come right in and they wouldn’t tell you why they couldn’t let you know over the phone

Yeah, it ain’t fair.

So what are you going to do? Okay sitting down in the middle of the room and crying until all you can do is heave is one option. Might not be the best, but it is certainly the one which comes to mind first.

But is it the one that you should put all of your eggs in and watch like a hawk?

No.

There is no substitute for a good wallow in self-pity. There are times when a bit of wallowing is just the thing and you can pull out all of the stops and get a really good wallow going.

But it is not a long-term solution.

And for an artist, where time is so limited and there are so many demands on what little you have managed to coax out of a schedule too full for Wonder Woman, or Superman or even the Incredible Hulk to salvage, you cannot afford to let even one minute slip away unaccounted for, used to the fullest or scraped to the very bone and then cracked so that you can suck the marrow from it and still dry and bleach the bones for a future project.

You just have to suck it up and get on with it.

You know by now that I have been dealing with a whole bunch of health issues and most of them seem to be only managed with trips to Seattle. Seattle is a nice place and it is a big city and I am a city kid and love the smell of sex and sin and business and traffic and fun, fun, fun, but I don’t have time or the inclination to go there every six weeks so that a croaker can cluck over me and nod sagely and tell me that they have to do more work on something which was never giving me any problem in the first place and only became an issue because some other croaker said it was deadly dangerous and had to be addressed or I would turn into a stump and be left to wash up on some long forgotten beach like so much drift wood.

Yuck, what a cheery prospect.

And with stuff like that coming from the guys who should know it makes it hard to work up the gumption to keep plugging along at the stuff which really matters, but has so little immediate positive reward that it seems like a waste of time when the Quacks have consulted and decided that there is little or no hope for you and why should you try to keep going when they have all but given up?

Okay, it is seldom that dramatic or terrible. We all have a way of hearing what we fear most and if the Quack says that you have a hangnail to you it sounds like they just said they would have to amputate at the elbow.

So take a breath. How bad is the situation really?

That’s what I thought and believe me I have done the dramatic doom vision when there was little which couldn’t be fixed and have held on with all of my might just so I could prove the Croaker wrong and die from a hangnail just to spite them. But none of it or at least the worst parts were all in my highly developed imagination.

I hate traveling back and forth to Seattle. It is a colossal inconvenience and grotesquely expensive and tiring and I’d rather spend my time watching the Stanley Cup, (My baby Blackhawks won you know), or twiddling my thumbs or catching up on back episodes of Falling Skies.

Which is exactly why when something comes along and knocks the wind out of your sails it is so hard to get the gears turning like they should and even if you aren’t being made sick as a dog while the Quacks experiment around fiddling with your innards, get back to the work that you are ducking while feeling sorry for yourself.

Don’t do it!

Prove the Croakers wrong, live in spite of them and live well cause that is the best revenge. Okay, so there is no way I can get my silly-ass exotic sickness treated competently locally and Seattle is the right place for the job and even though I hate having to do it I will have to suck it up and keep making the drive until they Quacks either manage to kill me off or cure me. And no matter how hard I whine that’s a fact.

But if I manage to waste all of the time I do have while I am waiting for the next round of head-nodding and chin scratching then that is all my own fault.

Get back up and work something in in the in-between times. Time is limited for the best and healthiest of us. You can’t afford to waste a minute and there are only so many minutes which get issued to any one person so you’d better assume that the one you have in your hot little hand right now is the last one you are going to get and make the most of it.

Time lost is gone forever and if you don’t have a dog passed out on the front porch and the car is running and the Croaker hasn’t said a word to you in years then you are lucky and you have no excuses at all, so get busy.

Don’t wait for the time when you don’t have time anymore to do the things you need to do to keep making life worth all of the effort.

Now excuse me, I have to go and read Snoopy. The fearless World War I fighter pilot ace was down between enemy lines and surrounded by hostile soldiers and had just been forced to surrender so who knows what fiendish devilments are being used to make him give up the location of the allied bases in France…

Don’t think I don’t know how to make the best use of the time I do have between medical trips!

St Ives

So just how many months do have 28 days? Did you cut through the logical misdirection? They all have 28 days! No one said how many have only 28 days. It’s like the old St Ives riddle, the rats, cats, kits and wives were not going to St Ives.

That’s the problems with life in the dawn of the twenty second century, there are so many distractions it is easy to overlook the obvious.

So what are you doing with your art?

Are you looking for that one killer inspiration which will magically cut through all of the juror’s doubts and make your image the one and only one which they just have to award Best in Show?

You do know there isn’t any such thing. Just like all of those cats, rats, kits and wives, there’s just you going to St Ives.

That killer inspiration is everywhere you look. You just have to decide to make it the image you want to make magic with.

As usual if you want a job done right ask a busy person. The busiest person in the art world around Coos Bay is S.L. Donaldson, she manages to get juried in to shows all around the area while maintaining the Art Happenings News Letter, writing grants and finding time to reinvent an art event which now holds a much broader appeal for participation.

How are you going to address the Chair-ity show? To tell the truth there are so many correct answers that there just isn’t room to cover them all and that’s just from a visual perspective. Now the event is open to poets and there is more than one or two with enough ego and passion to think that they just might have a special thing or two to contribute.

How come no one thought of opening up the event like this before? It can’t be that artists are so narrow and possessive that they don’t want anyone else to play in their sand box. No, it has to be the trip to St Ives rearing its ugly head again, there are just visual ways to express charity and only through visual images can the event be a celebration of all of the efforts to make this slice of heaven a better place to live.

But Ms Donaldson has taken that limited view and broken it all to pieces. Now you can do that imaging thing or you can take pen in hand and make some noise with the keyboard and try to offer a new way of finding the generosity buried in our collective hearts.

Hmmmmmm? That must be the same thing as knowing the trick to the trip to St Ives. If you know that there is only one person going then it is easy.

But are there other things that could do with a broader look?

Always.

Let’s take a look at the fantastic Expressions West show at the Coos Art Museum. Now the show is different from some of the past shows and there are pieces which have a different choice of expression but isn’t that what the whole concept is about, Expressions?

Sure there are always going to be opinions which do not agree with the choices of the juror. (It would be so much easier if only they would ask me first but then someone would say that my taste is not the sort of thing which should represent the art community of the South Coast and they’d be right, but I’d be a lot happier about the choices and that’s the whole point isn’t it? You can only please the person doing the selection and if they happen to get it right for anyone else that’s just a bonus.)

The show is fantastic and you should go and take a look. Maybe it will whisper a new direction in your ear.

We are sitting on the cusp of South Coast Summer and there are so many things changing right now that any artists should be overwhelmed with ideas and images just screaming for their attention.

Do you like sun drenched landscapes or are you still in the mood for the cool colors of early spring? You have both right now and all of the attendant things which make both seasons full of delights. Ever spend an hour or two watching a chipmunk fattening up? They are the most delicious of the wild rats and they have a wonderful way of getting darker as they fill up on roots and seeds. Our own little Munk started out sort of sandy and now is red as a brick. He’s redder than the squirrel and almost as big and the two of them are providing my cats with endless entertainment.

And the empty feeder where I used to mount a corn ear has been covered with moss and now has a green coat which makes it look like aged bronze and it is just begging for another pass through my camera and I will make time to get out there and get a few pictures, but there are so many things demanding my eye that it is terribly hard to decide what I want to do next.

Maybe that’s the problem, I am still counting cats, kits, rats and wives and I haven’t made a single step toward St Ives.
