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.
This was some dying I did a while ago, but thought I would show here. I only managed to take one picture before Three (of Five, a StarTrek reference for those in the know) came along and plonked herself in the middle of the picture. She looks scared out of her wits, but that is her usual look.
I swear, cats look to see where YOU are looking and then go and sit right in your line of sight. And then they pretend not to care.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.

love the fabrics but I thought it was 7 of 9 in Star trek - played by Jerri Ryan!!
yes, the cat is named after 7 of 9 from Star Trek, but since there were 5 kittens in the litter, and she was the third, we named her Three (of Five).
