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.

Hi Karen
Please do not stop making your fabric art. How about taking part in the South African quilt Festival that will be in Stellenbosch? And blog about your life and exhausten if you do not have art to blog about!
I know the feeling. THe secret is to allow yourself to moodle and something will spark your enthusiasm again.
"So you see, the imagination needs moodling – long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling, and puttering." - Brenda Euland
Happy Moodling to you, Karen :-)
the perfect time to rest, regroup and return refreshed.
be kind to yourself, do lots of things you enjoy and it will return.
you probably just needed a break after all of the hard work that went into your exhibition :)x
