Monday: a visit to Missouri Bend Studio....what's happening...thoughts, images and/or inspiration!
Tuesday: A Walk Through The Universe, a feature which is changing format and focus. We'll look at a different color throughout the month, changing the lens each week...art, nature, history...who knows!
Wednesday: Word of the Week
Thursday: Made By Hand, a feature that honors the folks that continue the tradition of the handmade object.
Friday: Another visit to Missouri Bend Studio
After a week away from home over the Christmas holiday, it took me most of last week to feel like I was caught up again and now life's usual twists and turns are coming back into play...never a dull moment as they say. I've had a little time in the studio and have been continuing to make the book pages and some meditation pages.

| Winter Meditation No.7 I find that these are the works my hands want to mak, as I strive to pare down to the essentials. How can I say without speaking....is it possible to communicate beyond language in a way that doesn't require translation? I think my deepest desire is to make work that can't be translated....except as an expression of the unsayable. The word that keeps coming to mind as I spend time in the studio these days is "elegance" and I suppose it is the word that captures the state to which I aspire...in my life, in my thoughts, in my movements, in my work. The universe is incredibly vibrant and complex and yet, underneath it all, is there not a profound elegance in everything we cast our eyes upon...in every breath we take? |
