i’m glad u love to talk, because i love to hear your thoughts ‘n weave them into my day. thinking about blinking. that temporary interruption of the visible realm. and how the nana self sees beyond the veil…
I love the black and white checks as Nana Self’s paws. Visually, she and the background take turns in asserting themselves. And as you say, she seems to be flowing through.
Brilliant observations. I absolutely saw the correlation between the first & second images before listening to you speak about it. That shot of the warped thread will stay with me for a while. And one of the aspects that ties the two images together is the fact that the warp in both cases is caused/perpetuated by light.
Have just happened up on your work via social media this a.m. – something that can absorb me too much so have been careful not to live there too much. Will be pulling back from that realm again soon – had lapsed there more recently due to injury and sufficient immobility to legitimize the lapse.
But glad it led me to your work. I sense the integrity and fullness of the practice – especially struck by your colorist sensibility and your being tapped into a flow of output – your ability to register something true that comes from within. Also: I am struck by your capacity to generate palpable luminosity and dark/light contrast in a medium that is not typically associated with illumination – apparently you speak light with great fluency.
Nana self is so beautiful. I can FEEL it…
she is a feeling cloth

old age is so interesting
We are all threads woven together 🧵💕
Love the images (& the images your thots conjure!)
she’s become a well seasoned tapestry
i have two looms here -one too big, the other small. i have ideas, which is enough for now. thought weaving for the moment.
yeah, thinking is a kind of doing.
I love the voice memos!
i love to talk…
Yes..I agree!

yeah it’s a bit of a hallucination
Cloth piece is wonderful!
Antique feel to it 💗
I’m part Nana too
yes, I thought of making it into a carrying vessel, I could call it The Old Bag…
😁👍🏻
Audio is a good solution. 🙂 And as usual, you’ve given me some things to think about today…
and talking makes me blink, ha!

hey thank you for such a nice comment. I am weaving in and out myself…
The warp thread became a heartbeat ❤️
I love the Tree Loom and imagine fibers being woven through…an image layering worth playing with!!
yeah, my mind is weaving a new world order…
loving all this. we’ve had less rain up here, but it’s raining today. of course you’re weave. of course.
Thank you, Jude, for sharing your weaving reflections, your ever-evolving Weave Philosophy…

right? of course.
