Field work reflection

Last week we split up to do some field work. I went with Lia to the stables to relay more information about the interview process and give them the consent forms. When we first got there the stables were locked, so Lia and I went around the corner to the President of the Arrabers house. He welcomed us into his home and chatted with us about some neighborhood events. He walked with us back to the stables, by then the owners were back and they let us explore the stables on our own. I took pictures while Lia talked with the owners. We found out some great information, they were even able to provide us with another person to interview. We went back to the president of the Arrabers house and spoke with him a little more. He took us on a quick tour of his home which consists of 2 rowhomes together. He has collected a lot of stuff over the years and as an artist he has converted most of it into new things. His house was filled with all sorts of things. Pictures, nicnacks, memorabilia, and antiques. It was amazing how much he has collected. He also introduced us to his lifetime partner, who is also an artist. She performs at the Cherry Puppet theater and other events. She showed us one of her latest performances involving a rolled scroll that as you unrolled it created shadow images. I thought it wax really cool and creative.
