UPDATES!

For those of you who don't know, my name is Molly Wagoner.  I am a photographer and mixed media artist living and working in Santa Fe, NM.  I gave birth to my beautiful son 1 year ago and am now on the amazing ride of parenthood!  He has taught me so much. Everyday, his father and I are inspired and humbled by the amazing being we created.

Needless to say, my art and creative ideas have taken a step aside to allow room for me to bond with and care for the little guy.  Despite the lack of time to execute projects, my creative mind continues to overflow with ideas, so in an attempt to keep my mind and hands working, I have developed some interesting prototypes for some image and textile work.  In the works are photographic pillows and prayer flags.  This required me to (re)learn how to sew, which has opened a whole new world of artistic possibilities.

I am excited and anxious to get back to work on some creative projects that have been put on hold!  As well as kick starting my new photography business, focusing on photographic services for Musicians, Artists, and Children's Portraiture!  I will soon post new video work made for We Drew Lightning and selections from new photography projects, Town Criers, and These Boots Were Made for Walking.

JACK!

Last week I had the opportunity to photograph Baby Jack!  In these photos, Jack is 17 days old!  He is a sweet premie weighing in at 4 lbs!  Despite his tiny size, Jack is healthy and happy and adjusting to life on planet earth.  Thank you, Amy and Jack for hanging out with me and allowing me to capture these great moments!

Inspiration in Arizona

My family and I just took a trip to AZ to visit some friends.  It was a beautiful time spent with loved ones and I walked away feeling inspired and humbled by the dedication and determination of fellow artists!

Anarchestra!! - I had the pleasure of seeing the space where Alex Ferris makes his instruments!  Visiting his world was like entering a magical surreal wonderland.  I wondered around as magical sounds emerged from the yurt!

Anarchestra is a group (around 100) of instruments (built -with two exceptions- by Alex Ferris), the people who play them (a few dozen regulars and a few hundred occasionals so far), and the socio-musical ideas that inform their playing. The instruments are predominantly steel with a few adapted parts, such as tuning machines and mouthpieces.  The instruments were built to encourage non-musicians to explore the making of sound, to allow experienced musicians to make sound unconstricted by their technical habits and preconceptions, and to provide an alternative vocabulary of musical sounds.  check it!  www.anarchestra.net
