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 am in another no creating except writing phase. My blog goes neglected. I am not depressed but I am not in my creative, zippy zone. My cycles change every few weeks so the up stage is in sight somewhere. Wishing you a quick recovery to your creativeness.
lots of love from susan in australia
Karen I do hope this cycle is short lived and that you are soon back creating contedly. I wish you peace and happiness for 2009
