Remnant

Remnant, 2013 cotton, fur, straw, lace

I am drawing on the walls with soft dimension and handwork of years past.  I love this fleeting piece of eternity.  Me, you all that lived before.

Do you ever marvel at this.

Cotton the flower of a beautiful plant. The flower reconfigured as a fabric.  Worn as a protective garment for a body.  The body dies and goes back to the ground, air, and water.  The cotton grows again from the earth that nourishes and is nourished by the body.  In between these cycles are momentary remnants, impressions of both the bodies and the flowers that once grew and will grow again.

Everything Small Holiday Show, Roos Arts

Dear Friends,
I have three small pieces in this great Holiday Show in Rosendale NY at my new favorite upstate gallery, Roos Arts.  The show opens TONIGHT! (See below) The best thing about this show is that all work is priced at under $100 giving everyone the opportunity to easily gift Art this season! 
I got a sneak peak yesterday when I brought my work to be installed and it all looks so fabulous!

PS. This piece is one of my works in the show and I will be offering all my blue Monoprints from this year at this special Holiday Price for fun:) Feel free to inquire.

Working on it, art in progress 12/7/12

I am happily working on a bunch of new work in the studio...after getting my hands wet and making acquaintances with my fear and self-criticism.  I realized that all I have to do is keep doing.  The fear just wanted me to "STOP BE SAFE!!!" after one new work.  I didn't follow the instructions and instead showed up the next day and started another one and now after working on more pieces, what felt like a crazy loner piece now has become the beginning of a new body of exciting work that I courageously stand behind and will continue to open up to.  Sounds simple.
