Welcome to my reality, my attempt to make sense of life and the human condition through artistic expression. My blog is primarily about my fibre art, which reflects my feelings, experiences, and thoughts. Inevitably, mental turmoil comes into it, as it informs much of my work.
These dolls are for a project that I hesitate to say too much about before it is a little further along. That's really not fair, I know and I shouldn't even be putting the pics here, but I was really pleased with how the dolls looked, so I snapped a few photos. Plus I was on a roll with the camera...
Reality is never absolute, and each person’s interpretation of reality is unique, and equally valid. When one’s reality is that of a ‘different drum’, not shared by many, one can feel isolated and alienated in the world, and withdraw, feeling not-understood. I am awed by art’s power to bridge this divide, and to communicate, connect and bring understanding where previously there was separation and alienation; where we were ships passing in the night.
If my work strikes a chord with another person, I feel heard, and it is my fervent wish that the reality of the viewer is likewise validated.

Hej again Karen
Back home now (was in the arctic) and have to comment on these 'screams'. They are EXCELLENT (and very topical right now since the recovery of the stolen painting!) Did you 'borrow' it as a template perhaps!!
