Dear United States of America.. from (me!) sandra, tvgp

now.. i had cause to be at the Hayward court house recently.  What is not important is who, when, why, etc.

what IS important is..   well, there i was looking all around and I saw the american symbol plaque..  the american flag..  the state of California flag..  and of course:  the bible.

and then I saw..   much to my disgust

Wall after wall after wall of brown paneling.  I mean, if you needed one picture to describe dismal:  brown wall paneling.

So, you are not allowed to talk while court is in session..  So this is a superb time to employ your imagination..  

So, I called president Barack Obama; straight to the top! No time to waste..   And I said,

President Barack Obama..  Do you and Michelle really think the American Flag!  the California State Flag! and The Holy Bible! Should be surrounded by nothing but brown fake wood paneling?  Is that how you want the greatest justice system in the world represented? 

Listen...  the people coming in and out of this court of law..  Many of them are already drowning in tough times or else they wouldn't even be here...

You are not helping anyone with this dull, awful, fake wood dark brown paneling.  In one word, its hideous.

We need to lift these peoples spirits and bring some hope! Not reflect back: life is dismal  -which is what these walls have to say..

so..  Do you have a pencil?  I'm gonna give you Kristin Norris' telephone number..  K.   She can help..

Because changing walls can change lives!   That's the campaign I'm runnin' on..

"Creative Justice!"

/and so, I kinda tuned in and tuned out of the different people coming and going in the courtroom..

Really I want everyone to read the article I read online ... An interview with the executive creative director of anthropologie..  Think its on strangeclosets.com...

I came across it after nearly moving into the anthropologie store in Victoria gardens in southern California..  

My sister and cousin went straight to the clothes..  I went straight to the displays..  The furniture pieces, rubbed my hands along walls, over big, gorgeous, bulky real wood furniture pieces..  And stood in awe at the sight..

And had to touch and marvel at the cascading multicolored and silver-leafed tea bags..

Are these tea bags?!   How awesome!  What a vision!  Sublime!

and I decided when I have my own studio one day...

It will look a lot like this...

And NOTHING like this awful courtroom...

my name is sandra Harrison Kay and my write hand is on the bible.  and I just told the truth; not the whole truth; but nothing but the important truth

So Help them God...    And Kristin...   Please..   Amen.
