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.
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.

Thanks for the kind words Karen! Issue three is definitely (in my opinion anyway) the best issue we've put together so far. They're all great but issue 3 is definitely packed with some of my favorite articles. Thanks again!

You're so welcome! (Wow, news travels fast!) I am mesmerised by your stuff - saw it today for the first time and have just completed a journal for myself, inspired by yours.
Thanks for sharing so much of what you do :)
