Looking for inanimate curves for a contest in the Challenge Club. Looking up into the incense spiral hanging in the garden hut (to burn against mosquitos).
Second meeting for the Bearing Flux project - a walk along the Leeds Liverpool canal near Saltaire. Reflection and action.

I took oil cloth and backed it with cover stock and lined it with handmade Chinese gold printed paper. The signatures were made up of several different colored paper stocks including tracing paper. I bound it using high quality red Irish linen binding thread. The final book size was approximately 3.5" x 5.5".
I finally set aside the time to make new work and created two new collages on cradle frames yesterday. More detail photos on my blog.
I go to meet that blundering, clumsy, beautiful, shy world of poetic, archetypal, wild intuition that's not going to come out into the broad daylight of the rational mind but wants to peek in.

Performance, room, red thread, scissors, needle
ENTER>NET You are not placing yourself according to a stage You are the stage. You are not only looking at the performer You are the performer. You are not situating yourself outside a network You are part of the network created. You connect You get connected. You disconnect You get disconnected. You break up You get broken. You are we. Something happened in that room. You got sewn together, separated, challenged, intimidated maybe. You were in the spotlight: objectified and objectifying. You saw the others and got seen.
Eyes were following while the threat silently went through your jacket and connected to a a pair of jeans, a jumper, or the surrounding walls. In the meantime an abstract, diagrammatic structure occurred on the floor and your voices, laughs and unspoken words - combined with the noise from the loudspeakers - generated a sound scape. ENTER>NET is about human relations. Sometimes the closest seems the most distant and vice versa.

Another valentine, given long ago to my husband, lover, friend--my John, made its reappearance, falling from between the pages of a book that was soon to be given away.
I have been making handmade valentines every year for 40 years. This one measures 3" H x 3.5" W.
Ink, manipulated with a color copy machine and layered thru multiple passes in such a machine.
This is inspired by the cover and contents of Adulterers Anonymous, an amazing collaborative book of poetry by Lydia Lunch and Exene Cervenka.
I had to salvage the original drawing from a little disaster. I spent about 10 hours sitting at my dining room table drawing this, but during that time, people came and went (I lived in a moderately chaotic punk house at the time) and various beverages were in proximity to the drawing...some spilled. Buy the ticket ride the ride, as they say.
