It is a language of movement, whispered between horse and rider—a rhythm of trust forged in silence, spoken not in words, but in the press of a knee, the shift of weight, the soft touch of a guiding hand. The horse listens, ears flicking toward the unseen, sensing the rider’s unspoken intent. And the rider, in return, yields to instinct, understanding that control is not command, but conversation.
In communion, there is no force, no struggle—only presence. It is in the steady cadence of hoofbeats against the earth, the rise and fall of breath in perfect sync. The reins are not chains but bridges, delicate threads that tie two souls together, teaching patience, rewarding surrender.
And in the quiet moments—the pause before the gallop, the stillness beneath an open sky—the distinction dissolves. Horse and rider are no longer separate beings, but one force, carried forward by trust, by motion, by a connection deeper than understanding.
Longue balade de fin de journée dans ma petite ville, sur le chemin du retour, je suis arrivée sur la place où la collégiale domine. La lumière brillante et teintée de rose qui rayonnait à travers les nuages diffus et étendus, illuminait le pourtour du monument, mettant en relief des détails et le rendant encore plus imposant et mystique, amplifié encore par le silence qui régnait et l'ombre minuscule des oiseaux virevoltant sur les reliefs en hauteur. 😊
A fleeting gathering under fluorescent light — strangers wrapped in their own worlds, framed by an advertisement’s promise of love.

These flying behemoths host communities of travelers as they weave their way regularly from continent to continent, just overhead, by day and night, as the world turns unnoticed.
CHAI. COMMUNION Available at ACCESS. ✨
Where the table becomes a gathering place again.
Christmas is about presence.
It’s about the moments that happen around the table: the pauses between bites, the shared laughter, the quiet clinking of glasses, the stories that resurface year after year.
COMMUNION was created to honor that.
It brings intention back to the table, reminding us that gathering is sacred.

La communion des catholiques telle qu'elle s'appelait à l'époque.
Me voici à Biarritz dans une aube blanche que je me suis empressée d'enlever car je me trouvais complètement ridicule là-dedans - le pire, c'était le voile !!!
J'ai remis mon short tout de suite après les vêpres !!!

All the catholic children doing what they used to call "First Communion" - now the name has changed..... it was when the Mass was said in latin and when people used to sing a lot in french and in latin.
I will start putting up the pieces for the BLK/MRKT show a couple per day until I leave on the 14th. Some you have already seen, but this is a fresh one. Enjoy!!

A lovely horse is always an experience...an emotional experience that is spoiled by words.

I've spent the past 5 years both asking and trying not to ask what happens after we die.
My entire life I've been horrified at the thought of dying. My dreams have been about death as far back as I can remember (which, btw, was 4 years old).
How do you make sense out of something that lives on the other side of reason?
I make art. I confront the things that terrify me. Because the more you confront those fears, the more control you have over them over the power they hold.
I crave control, like the greatest prize in a world of uncertainties. Death, the most uncertain of all. We wonder - when will it happen? How? What was it all for? I shudder at those questions. But what a privilege to ask them.
This image - I am the tree, leaves springing forth from my life. I am the rock, grounded and grounding. I am bound to the earth with those sinewy white roots, attached. I am the blood of my flesh and the blood of the world, entwined. I am the sun and I am the uneasy fog that hides it. I am flesh and bone and one day, it should be an honor to give it all back. To let those particles, so alive and vibrant, fall to ash and like the Phoenix be reborn into new life. It should be an honor. Still, I will them to stay.
I will have had my time.
I have already had my time.
