My big idea is to give enough information for my viewer to enter their own re-discovered inner world, but not too much.Not too much information. The viewer needs to discover it.
I also want to remind the viewer that life is short, art is long.
A wabi sabi kind of thing.
I want the work to hold its own destruction,but the holding, the touching,
the idea of nurturance and
reparation
will also be present.
It's almost a spiritual thing.
A belief. A faith.
That we will go on.
Not knowing what lies ahead, we do go on.
This one has me in tears--not weeping--the quivering edge of feeling both joy and sadness simultaneously--leaves one balancing on the eternal precipice of being terribly alive in the here and now. What a big, powerful post from your powerhouse big artists heart.
ReplyDeletewow, so perfectly stated. I am new to the eco-dying and am truly loving the unknown. The magic is all around us!
ReplyDeleteyes. this is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of some of my most favorite antique quilts - the ones that are covered with leaves and clearly the maker used real leaves she picked up, or the ones with all the little household items - captured arrays of life.
