Oh goodness me, I've been meaning to invite you in for quite some time. I wanted to show you around and share a glimpse into this little space I've carved out for myself. Way back in October our town hosted a Saturday afternoon Open Studio where I was one of the stops on the trail. During that day a hundred or so folks stopped by for a gander and a frolic. It was delightful to share my work and my space. It also provided me with a lovely opportunity to clean out and re-organize my studio.
During the open house I showcased Flight Plan, a constructed environment intended to invoke a sense of chance encounter, the potential of love and attraction, the magic of winter exploration and the possibilities of flight, in our living room. I wasn't able to gather all of the pieces that are apart of the installation into one space, but it was enough to enchant and inspire several of the souls who passed through. Someday, I'm not sure when, I'm not sure where, I hope to share the piece in it's entirety. I'll let you know when that day comes. Until then I'm going to do my best to share smaller and individual pieces in more public places than my home. Perhaps that is my goal for 2015. Show more work. So this is my first step in that direction, sharing this space with you.
Just a note that many of the spaces in my home don't let in enough natural light for beautiful picture making, but hopefully this gives a little bit of a sense of the world where I gather and hone and imagine and make.
Thank you for wandering through. Come by again sometime. Maybe next time we can sit and stitch together.
