about

I see blogging like thinking out loud with witnesses.    
I maintain an artful independent living doing several things.  I make movies, iPhone apps, and other fun things with Bruce Tribbensee at salty snack studios.  I also remodel old houses. Sometimes I teach, too.  I make things with my hands, as well as virtually, and my process heavily involves elements of time.  And I travel a fair bit.

tonette time is a place where I process ideas and chronicle my observations on the balancing act of time, creativity, technology and aesthetics.

Tonette is a nickname. My name is Toni Matlock.  In 1992, I moved West from the Midwest; currently I live in Montana.  I am an artist  trained in painting, drawing, sculpture and fiber arts. After years dedicated to works of the hand, I swerved into technology. Now, I incorporate light, sound, and video into my sculpture and installations.   

If you follow me here, as peers, friends, or  potential friends, I encourage you to share your experiences on this balance as well as prop me up, push me along or simply stay current with me.  

Grazie mille!
