Ingrid got lucky getting a great paying and rewarding work study at Creative Growth, a non-profit art-for-disabled-adults space in downtown Oakland. Creative Growth facilitates the art of mentally disabled adults. Cindy Sherman and David Byrne, who I think are now a couple, visited the center, Sherman buying art and Byrne donating the photograph you see above the etching. I forgot David Byrne studied photography for a year at RISD. Byrne dontated the piece. Underneath, is written: "David Byrne My Life in the Bush of Ghosts 1980/2009 $1500"
Some of the art at Creative Growth is great and vivid. The text underneath the etching is great. I forget the name of the artist. The etching was one in five and told what was like a strange child's version of a husband and wife. You can click on the images to enlarge them.
