Curves and Zigzags is the third work from an ongoing series of free-standing walls that straddle painting and sculpture. Comte’s practice embraces all media with equal ferocity and she uses this series to examine what happens when two-dimensional painting is superimposed on three dimensional structure. Unlike graffiti artists her walls are built specifically for the work they carry. In Curves and Zigzags, the painting starts with a stringent geometric composition that gradually morphs into a more organic wave like pattern reminiscent of Bridget Riley optical paintings or the gardens of Burle Marx. Playing on the constant exchange of dualities – nature and culture, order and chaos, geometric and organic form – Comte’s wall suggests a walk through the shifting sands of abstraction and on to a place where beauty and contemplation sit side by side.
I love Little Zigzag Falls, tucked away in the National Forest. It's quite accessible, but I don't think many people know about it. It looks really nice right now with all the snow melt coming down. A lot more water now than last September when I visited here. The sun came out RIGHT as I got here, making the shooting of this waterfall tricky.

This is a project I drew up and pieced earlier this year. I used half-square triangle paper for the boats and the zigzags. This quilt is headed for Sutter Memorial Hospital's Pediactrics Unit. Blogged here.
I love how it turned out! I used a black and white polka dot binding, did stippling in the aqua sections, and did three lines in each zig zag. One of my favorites!
I found this in an antique shop in hamilton missouri. I gave $35 for it. It came with 1 left hand needle plate. it runs smooth and easy. works great on the treadle. It treadles effortlessly.
I just got done installing it in this treadle cab. that i got in Desmoines Ia this summer. I've been wanting a zig zag machine that looks old and this fits the ticket. I have another one but it is newer and was going to take a bit more modification to make it work in a treadle. this one didnt. This one looks a lot like the Nicchi BU zig zag machines I've seen.
"E.S. Perry Iridinoid London". An offset pen nib. I actually got this in a small box of old bits and pieces when my grandmother's house was cleared. It might have been my grandfather's. Writes quite well.

Hansel and Gretel are alive and well
And they're living in Berlin
She is a cocktail waitress
He had a part in a Fassbinder film
And they sit around at night now
drinking schnapps and gin
And she says: Hansel, you're really bringing me down
And he says: Gretel, you can really be a bitch
He says: I've wasted my life on our stupid legend
When my one and only love
was the wicked witch.--Laurie Anderson
