Sadly, I've given up my enormous studio in Housatonic.
I had to finally face up to the vast amounts of mold that not only was visable on the "weeping" cement walls but also finding its way into my work with the high humidity and puddling water on the floor. . . it was interesting to find in the fine print of my very expensive insurance policy that damage by"water" in any context is not covered.
In addition, I couldn't continue to deny that the environment was impacting my health and energy levels pretty dramatically. . . I'm just grateful I was able to get out of there before the multitudes of millepedes returned for their seasonal residency! (When I looked at the space last September, the floor was practically carpeted with the little creatures that curl up into a fetal position and crunch underfoot. . . truly delightful. They were cleaned up before I moved in, but I always wondered when they would return, imagining they'd be crawling over my feet as I painted away on an enormous canvas. . .
