Wandering off is essential. The exercise is freeing. Mind and body. The exercise did me good. From the west side of the house, down the hill a bit. I note how the house blends in and that we did not paint it red and maybe that’s fine. That it’s less “house”. And just home. Rocks. How I love the built walls and the random upheaval. Together. The stream is roaring on the other side of that wall. This has […]

Playing with loose dyed dots, connect dots and you you have a line, a path. A-line-ment? Oh ha.

One thing (is there such a thing?) is always becoming another. I can’t talk about what is happening here yet. It’s a C2P thing. And I am so in between. The one thing I can say is that I feel, deeply feel, both the joy and sadness in becoming. Just like that. Nameless reasons. Perhaps life’s patchwork, in perspective. Skeave is next. Looming, skeave is looming. What a fun play on words I just said to myself. Words are so […]

This weekend. Learning this video tool. Here just seeing how natural morning light turns out (because I love the edge of darkness). What grainy means. Trying to connect small moments. And just showing for no reason other than so something is here. No snow forecast. But snow. The mountains rule. That stray self on the muslin cloth, I have been calling it Life is Heavy. And today maybe I will call it Carry On, has a more positive sense to […]

Yesterday, simply asking myself a lot of questions. Today trying to answer them. But I think answers don’t apply for very long really. Things are always changing. And I, we, are only human and answers, there aren’t any really. Questions are prompts for considering, and answers , well what if they are just coffee breaks ? Just Sweeping. This morning I asked myself, ” …did you have a good sweep?” And what will my future be? What comes next.

So, how it just is sometimes, when you wake up and you can’t seem to breath because you are allergic to something and nobody seems to know what, and it’s raining and you forgot to take the quilt off the clothesline and it’s still dark so you just leave it. And you think who am I? That big question in such a small moment. And you think, well, I am small. And you make a small stray self, not […]

Selves. I did most of my illustration work (on paper) back in the 70s. I have said that before but how long ago that actually is now. This one is rather realistic. Like a person. Ha! I can say it looks like me then, with my wild hair. Drawn from a photo my brother took, I should find that. Some where in NYC. I remember I was wearing a handwoven vest and my grandmother’s old fur coat. What a time. […]

I may just call her Done aka Singing Woman. She ended up resting here for a while… My cloths have become kind, they often hold one another. Until it is time to go. While small cloths are about being held, large cloths are about holding. Blankets, not art. It is important to me that they not be “art”. It is hard to explain. But someday I will be able to find the words. If I live long enough. Weird summer. […]
