I take an interdisciplinary approach to making art pieces that are about creating and discovering liminal, phantasmal spaces, queer spaces, reclaimed spaces, (whether in our minds, our bathrooms, or inside a circle drawn on the sidewalk). I make art for making art, for making space, to share my inspiration with others, to fuel the inspiration of others, to insist that another world is possible.<br/> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 00:58:31 GMT John Foster http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=322190 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=322190"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_19525/1c5800e86c600ae7cd91d784b7641ecd/1c5800e86c600ae7cd91d784b7641ecd_scale_45_80.jpg" height="80" width="45" border="1" alt="Inside sacred geometry" /></a><br/><br/> Wed, 03 Oct 2012 23:31:38 GMT John Foster http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=316194 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=316194"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_19525/2ea0fce2d9d316e17192789c6d943c82/2ea0fce2d9d316e17192789c6d943c82_scale_80_80.jpg" height="80" width="80" border="1" alt="Smitten Kitten Window Display" /></a><br/>I was asked to design the window display for The Smitten Kitten in April 2012.
