Everything is dangerous, and in one minute our lives could be transformed immeasurably regardless of our economic or educational status, ethnicity or gender. Disasters define our humanity; as French author Marcel Proust wrote: “Disaster puts one in touch with oneself: suffering fuels creativity.” However, in a morbid way, disasters do unify us as a people, and unfortunately, tend to be more unifying than art.

I was sad to hear this news back in June. I was fortunate to meet Louise who spoke and visited our college CCAD. I believe it was my freshman year so you were probably not around yet. She was a great artist.
Here it is November of 2010 and Louise passing is news to me! She's one of those women I studied as a woman when I was in art school and having spent that time with her I absorbed much of her that will never pass.
