In a quiet voice, the artist speaks while sewing,
draws while sitting on her couch.

I admire how artists can spend their whole lives in a free-fall....not knowing.

Great post, Judy... I love that quote, too. And seeing her in her house, wonderful!
lovely post Judy!
re free fall a wise friend said to me 22 years ago when I had just finished art school & my life fell apart & I couldn't see the next move..." You're in free fall enjoy it! How many times in this one lifetime do you get to a place where there is no pressing need to do the next thing or be anywhere? "& he was sooo right!
Thank for the introduction to the amazing Kiki Smith
what a womannnnnnn
Thank you for the reminder of Kiki, Judy.....I recently visited her extensive photo exhibit....always a mystery...and I am touched by her quote "either you're stopped by what pampers you....or you're not"..........It has got me thinking that I "AM" stopped by what pampers me. Such food for pondering....
On Tumblr, a few days before you posted this, I happened to see an image of a woman on a cross in crucified posture... it hit me, as a rare thing.
One of your links has an image and little audio interview with Kiki of a star filled stained glass window she an an architect did for a synagogue renovation in New York. There were other images of stars too, both reminding me of mandalas and all your lace from the last post, each like a meditation shape from a soul.
Any rate, I mean to say I enjoyed this post.
great post! It was a treat to see this little video!
