Welcome to my 100 day challenge. My name is Gwendolyn Hustvedt and I am an artist, professor, reader and writer who lives in Central Texas. Stop by each day and read what I am up to during my 100 days outside the echo chamber.
The Point
Last November I realized that if I could get back all the time that I had spent obsessively and pointlessly reading content about politics and spent that time reading and making art, I would be happier. My tentative plans for this 100 day challenge are to:
- Write every day about something, possibly just about what I have been reading and making but possibly about what I am learning from the experience.
- Watch everything I can find on Netflix and Amazon (what I currently can get for the fees I have already paid) about art. Authors, painters, musicians, it is all fair game.
- Share photos and discussions about my creative process. I have two other blogs for my professional life so I might occasionally cross post.

Holy: Day 80
The 80th day of my 100 Day Challenge happens to fall on Palm Sunday. By this point, my friends have noticed that I am no longer strictly observing my “diet” of black. I explain to them that my scarves are beautiful and that my intention in beginning the capsule challenge was not to state that …
