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.

I had a quick peek in here before packing my things to go - and am in tears again - because of several messages either sent as comments or emails to wish me well. I am SO touched and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. We've not met f2f but the warmth from other corners of the world is tangible and I can't tell you how much it means to me...
Karen - TAG! I'm tagging you with a Thinking Blogger Award! When you get back you can choose to participate or not! Either way - wanted you know I enjoy how you make me think! See my blog entry for details)
