Softer and Dreamier

 

Each day seems like a little boat and all the days are swept and tilted back and forth across an immense and distant bay of blue, grey, green.

Neutral

 Choosing a binding fabric. Colour or neutral?  

An erotic space

The space between the lover and the beloved. 

Between I love you and I love you too. 

Approach and resistance. 
 

Beautiful Soul

 If we say anything original, we so often say it wrong and we will offend and hurt others.  On the internet this can be exhausting.  I must still get the work out, get the words out, get the stitches into the cloth.  

Remember the Beautiful Soul.  The dream of the beautiful soul brought into the real world that can carry us forward.  

All we have is our best idea.

Suns and moons and a single star

 Starting from one’s knowledge of the beautiful effects of colours isn’t the same as copying nature mechanically and slavishly. 

Van Gogh letter #537 to Theo. Wednesday October 28, 1885

happy new year

winter is the  season for tending our inner garden
Rilke

old things

By following the materials and the process
for what I don't really understand
the meaning becomes revealed.
In this way the work is poetic.
