signal hill
st john's newfoundland

we are experiencing lovely thick fog
no horizon line
just the sound of waves against cliff
of birdsong

it is free-ing
looking at emptiness
it's like flying

cloud and earth

 

 

earth energy moves up through our bodies and minds

female energy is "drawing in" or centripetal
the centripetal force is irresistible, it is so powerful
a mother has this kind of energy
others want to be around this kind of energy and are acutely aware when it is gone

the earth's energy comes up through the feet
Navajo women wear skirts because this increases the body's access to earth's energy

(this is a note found in an old journal)

not thinking

 

 

 

You can't think about things while you're painting.
The worst thing to think about is your SELF.
It gets in the way and you make mistakes.
Agnes Martin

Tell me some stories he said.
blue eyes so hungry

so I start with one about Ned and the wood pile

I can't hear you
he says

fragile memory

 

 

leave a mark
leave a trace
small daily details
ordinary matter and materials

journal series

 

 

What is it to be human?

I want my body of work to ask that question

and answer it.

Art saved me.
It was my ability to synthesize my life through my art.
I'm really lucky.
