Belonging

Img_0025

Sitting this morning I found my eye drawn to this environment and it set me wondering about all the 'worlds' held by this world and how many I miss or trample upon without realising and I held my gaze for a long time on this small world of wood and web and felt the pull of the tides the gaze of the moon and the songs of the stars within and without as the sense of communion, belonging found echo in my heart.

It was only a moment but a moment to wrap gently and open throughout a day and feel a link not the overwhelming separation that often fills the mind  that forgets that I am the tree, I am the soil, I am the brick, I am the mess and muddle but most of all I am stardust come from and going to the Universe.

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
