Beginning in the continuing

After an absence of many months the return here is tentative but will hopefully build into a regular rumination and exploration of my ‘spiritual practice’ through the use of found or created objects; using what is held in my somewhat cluttered home, which is more resource bank than homes and gardens spread, or that I come across in the geographical world I travel through which in the main is one formed by a thirty mile radius from my front door with more often travelled pathways being less than ten miles from my door and the most often travelled being the within 200yds of my door.

A small world creating a small life but from this travellers point of view it offers infinity in each moment and my only response comes from the understanding that this finite life can communicate with infinity in the moment if I have an open heart and mind ready to express and discover through creativity of living and being.

I recently added a small element to my camera possibilities, which has encouraged me to begin to explore up close. I am not sure where this will take me, it feels like an adventure I just need to step forward in to and the challenge is to really see hear and touch the landscape both internal and external and translate that from image into word and object whatever that might be.

Each expression and exploration a means to discover ways and means to reawaken, realign and recommit my life to living and my living to life and in all to try and reflect a little light.

Landscapes it seems are about having both eyes and heart in tune to feed mind and spirit and discover reality for my self.

Nice to see you posting here again. This image is infinity.....or that is what it feels like to me...... the grain of sand holding the cosmos, the entire universe seen from a creator's eye. Thank you for sharing this.

Oh! You're going to have fun with your macro feature. Of course, I could have followed Susanne's lead with the evocation of inifinity, but no - I've just returned from a challenging visit with my skin doctor so - I see skin - and until I get a biopsy report - I'll worry a wee bit about those blotches on . . . potatoes? :0D

Weekly contemplation

  • Tolerence(3)
    Weekly consideration of the daily 'thought' words, brought to life in shape and colour as expression of these words and the word of the month. I did not begin the weekly images until March of 2006 till then consideration of the daily word in notes put in a small pad plus postcard size doodles of day were the elements but during February I began to consider the shapes and colours I see when each daily word is presented to me and decided this was an expansion of this practice that needed to be approached practically. As it stands at the moment each Sunday I aim to put the shapes and colours together in a whole. This will mean a 52 page 'book' for the year , there are other strands to this I feel but am not clear as yet what but I certainly see the book being similar to the wallpaper sample books with a handle to carry it and bolts through the 'spine' to hold it all together. I loved those books when I was a child all that colour and texture I suppose. Like my childhood wallpaper books by unscrewing the the hinge/spine, pages will be able to travel from book to wall though unlike the selotape or blutac that was used to attach the patterns to my walls these pages will get at the least black mounts and could be framed glazed and hung as art.... but then I thought the pages of the wallpaper books were art and in truth one of my favourite places to go to this day is the V&A Museum in London and spend hours drooling over the samples of fabulous hand printed papers for walls which sometimes happened to be fabric too.

Today for today

    This began with an invite to submit 16 Artist Trading Cards on the theme TODAY. I went off on a tangent and didn't produce 16 ATC's but 18 concertina 'books' appeared.

Landscapes of my life

  • Landscape of Vertigo
    The works I am creating for this project are snapshots on a journey that never finds arrival destination just many stopping and shuddering to a halt viewing points but as a group may just open a small window on living this life. This is an ongoing piece of work with no deadline but I aim to have the first body of work in some sort of order by New Year - my new year which begins November 2006

Another part of 'me'
