Tanesia Hale-Jones: Friend & Collaborator
And....She is a…..writer…..poet….mother…..junior high Montessori teacher with an infectious laugh and a sophisticated-cheeky sense of fashion. She is my collaborator & irreverent art partner in crime. Here are some images of our 2016 installation Romance & Necessary Fictions at the Harwood Art Center in Albuquerque.
You know how musicians often say a hit song wrote itself, that it flowed out of them onto the page, well our collaboration was like that. It was effortless, we started with the title and each idea lead to the next, our individual ideas supported our joint objective. Often while we worked we were laughing so hard, we were laughing-crying.
Grateful doesn’t even begin to express how fortunate I am that she is part of my life!
