blocking my work

 

 

there is silence
and beautiful weather

when an embroidered cloth is on such a large scale, it ceases to be domestic

prayer flag

 

My bone is healing - it's healed actually -
new bone has formed, even over the screws.
We saw the x-ray.
The entire day yesterday was spent in the car going to and from doctor.
We left at 9 am, home 10 pm.
Ned went straight to bed - me too, but I got up to clean the studio.

I arranged the red edged hankies into a cross
for a prayer flag

the base of the skull the back of the neck the stomach the throat the legs thighs ankles toes the joints the pains and cramps the breathing

It is crucial that we speak about our connections to the land.

Rebecca Belmore

wabi sabi

 

My art is inspired by the wabi-sabi idea from Japan.
A philosophy and aesthetic that honours the imperfect, the transitory, the humble and the handmade.
It honours the changes of nature, seasons, objects and ourselves.
It evokes a sense of acceptance of the transitory nature of life.
