What is Rosie Management?

Um, gee, gosh, I really don't know!

My life's work, day in, day out, is severely and frustratingly inexplicable, so giving it a name/brand just made sense. 

I am the founder and creative director of Rosie Management. Rosie Management is what I do/who I am. ("damn Rosie*, get a life") [*my name is not actually Rosie]

Some things included are:
  • The Domestic Arts - the art of living, entertaining, life-sized dollhouse creating ... Rosie-style!
  • My two *official* jobs - A job description exists for only one of them, though the level of love/devotion/identity is basically undefinable. The other is an evolving and amorphous quotidian of paperwork, ideas, detail, a de facto travel/visa/tax agency and resourcefulness/creative problem solving.
  • Grappling with being a creative person and not necessarily being an artist. Or being an artist and not knowing what the hell to do with it.
  • "The dream" - undefined
  • "The fantasy" - quitting everything I do and doing something totally different
  • Being a vacuum for contemporary performance/time-based art - a confused combination of pastime, work obligation, obsession. Just for the record, I rejected theater a very long time ago. Another difficult thing to explain.
  • Talking to artists, watching artists work, being as much of a resource for artists as I can
  • ...& more TBD.

... So what will happen here?  On this blog?
By contextualizing/defining/figuring out along the way what Rosie Management is, a valiant and public attempt at self-actualization. (no disrespect to my therapist)
