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.
I've been unravelling. This is such a spectacular metaphor that it tickles me pink! I've unravelled a ton of fabric and am busy wrapping all the threads on my sewing machine. It's somewhat tedious and well suited to my current state of mind - at least when I feel better I will have a bunch of wrapped threads with which to create something.
Thread nests all over the place.
... and some of the wrapped threads:
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.
