I really don't know what I want to say about these two new pieces.
It took most of the morning to put them in the shadow-box frames
and then package them up in cardboard to ship.

love meditation: moon and time

One of them is a donation to a fund raising auction for the Thunder Bay art gallery.
The other, a gift.
they are about
who I am
where I live
what I love
important time and labour are to me
as both these aesthetics are evident

| watercolour on paper |
the marks are tenuous, wavering,
they demonstrate vulnerability
 |
| indigo dye, stitch resist, with hand stitch added |
of will
of a need to complete the task at hand to my best ability
they are both careful work
complete this watercolour study of a quilt that I would like to make
some day
Agnes Martin came to mind
It seems important to say it.
I was here.
I'm in love with youe blue moon love meditation and these studies on blue in watercolour!
ReplyDeleteYou are still there in each and every.
ReplyDeleteYour words are important to us.
ReplyDeleteThese pieces read as maps to me ... geographies of self
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it seems important to say because I know it feels important to see and hear what you feel moved to create. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteOur quilts, works of art, all are reflections of who we are. I am fortunate to know you through your work while we both are here... Hugs
ReplyDeleteLove the unfinished watercolour too ;-)
ReplyDeleteDo I see it right : cloth on paper and paper on cloth ?
(Mmmmmm, that shibori moon !)
Wow, I read that someone said they look like maps, I thought something very similar when I first saw them. I love the colors and the Intense texture in both stitching and the watercolor. Just wow
ReplyDeleteI am really thankful that you share your thoughts about what you do and why, because I share this way of understanding art, but I am not able to put it in words. Yours give me clarity.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
These pieces both complement each other so beautifully. I can’t believe you let go of your quilt study so quickly....it’s recipient must be very special to receive such a gift. ❤️
ReplyDeleteyes. she is.
DeleteAt the risk of sounding VERY cheesy, I am so glat you're here and i hope you always will be.
ReplyDeletei love how rich and vulnerable these feel, though they are strong visually, each tiny mark adding up to a remarkable piece.
ReplyDeleteThe tiny triangles caught my eye right away. Sails against the sky.
ReplyDeleteYou being here is important to me and the art world. You give inspiration by sharing your talent to all of us that visit. Your work is AMAZING ...
