A human being

…. of vast communities.

Artist Statement Hudley Flipside

Every day and night, I sprinkle tiny acts of kindness and a few mischievous shenanigans throughout my communities, like a well-meaning little gremlin armed with good intentions and a sense of humor!

As a cave dweller… community to me is multidimensional. There is the community in my cave of course.

Here there is a book community of friendly authors, some dead and some living. There is the oracle of communication here too of films and cartoons.

The computer community is vast and multidimensional, friends, events, and conversation galore. As the changes, by way of my focus upon it, so does my personal persona change!

I am a mother, artist, punk rocker, or a student of esoteric or religious studies, someone who values culture, community, and belonging over conflict.

My oasis: surrounded by a garden and nature community, which I know well, is the delight of knowing there are no pesticides here.

The lucid movement of a small feline population is known to surround me while I sleep at night on the living room couch. And the Rue of feral cats who bless us always with their dignity outside.

There are friendly neighbors that walk by and when I walk late at night, I know that gravity is the only thing holding me back from the community of the vast Milky Way.

There is beer at the pub and the vastly disappearing intimate live music community of underground rock & roll. Maybe it is me disappearing there.

There is the secular community of family and schools that I orbit around now and then too.

My hidden community within is vast and mysterious; it is always reflecting waves of intuition and projecting my strengths and seeing the rolling back foamy knowing how vulnerable we all seem to be.
