Sometimes you need to see it to understand that it's happening to you.

Movie #10, "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?"

I didn't see this movie until I was 19, recovering from the C-section birth of my first daughter. Talk about a brain cracker!

Movie #9, "Rosemary's Baby", is the first movie I remember seeing where I felt fear. Tense, mental fear. The kind so many women know now to be abusive gaslighting.

Movie #8, "Orphèe", was the first subtitled foreign film I saw in a theater. I thought I was so cultured. I was obsessed with Greek mythology and Hades, the Underworld.

Movie #5 "Judgement at Nuremberg", was a surprise watch, as my Aunt, who was only 12 years older than me, watched for a school report. It stuck with me. A thoughtful watch.

Movie #4, "Nosferatu", the 1979 version with Klaus Kinski. And so began my fascination with vampyres and vampire lore. Also, my love of bats. Because they're awesome! 🤓

I'm really behind, so movie #2 is ..... "The Wizard of Oz".
My Ninny made this movie a yearly event for us with popcorn and a pallet on the floor. It's one of my best memories.

Day one: 'The Rose' starring Bette Midler.
I was 7, about to turn 8 when this movie came out. My parents took us to the drive inn to see a Bugs Bunny movie, then go to sleep,

Piece I made for my Mother's foyer.... All materials came from resale/thrift shops.

This is an absolute abomination. Change my mind. (No, please don't.)

A work in progress.... Not sure it's gonna stay like this.

One of my most favorite art projects ....
