Jean Carroll told a Manhattan federal court jury that she was born in 1943 and was a “member of the silent generation,” taught “to keep our chins up and to not complain.” She said she had only called police once in her life, when she feared the mailbox at a home where she was staying was going to be damaged on Halloween.Carroll described her attitude about going to the police as Trump’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, confronted her during cross-examination with instances in which she advised those reading her Elle magazine column to contact police or call a sex crimes hotline if they were attacked.“The fact that I never went to the ...

If you thought Los Angeles was done with the rain, think again. A late season storm is pushing its way into Southern California Monday, bringing an increased chance of rain and mountain snow Tuesday through Thursday, the National Weather service reports.  “We are looking forward to a significant cool down coming our way,” KTLA 5 weatherman Kaj Goldberg said.  A rapidly deepening marine layer moving through the coastal slopes as early as Sunday night will continue well inland, creating the possibility of drizzle or light rain through Monday in Ventura and L.A. counties.  Along with the cloudy, damp conditions, portions of Southern California will also experience gusty winds.  “Wind advisories are in effect through this evening and overnight for the Antelope Valley foothills as well as southwestern Santa Barbara County,” the weather service said. “These advisories will likely need to be extended/reissued for the same areas Monday afternoon and evening.”   Ca...

Meet Mixed Media Stitching Artist Brenda Gonzalez

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 21:15:31 GMT

Brenda Gonzalez (she/her) is a stitching-forward mixed media artist working in sculpture, collage, and animation. Though working in abstract forms of planes and textures, her choice of materials and the narrative foundations of her objects are intentional in their excavation and elevation of humble housewares into vessels of transcendent memory. Thinking back to the qualities of the cheap but cheerful thrift and dollar-store bath mats, decor, household supplies, and textiles of her East Los Angeles home, Gonzalez applies a skill set of reconfiguration and de-and reconstruction to create new, expressive, architectural and biomorphic sculptures. In this way the act of stitching activates both literal and metaphorical dimensions, as Gonzalez explores ideas of home, but in a transitional manner that includes the comforts and faults of the present as well as the past. The current Artist-in-Residence at Arts at Blue Roof’s “A Room of One’s Own” residency in South L...
