Hi Grace ~ recently a friend loaned me a back issue of 'selvedge' magazine to peruse...it has a very graphic (and for me, thought provoking) cover. When I popped in over here and viewed your new piece, well, it occurred to me you might enjoy seeing it. Found their website page...the image is tiny but is so graphic I think you'll be able to see it ok: http://www.selvedge.org/pages/backissues.aspx
Much communication (heard & unheard) happens between humans & birds, I think...
Christi...thank you for the link to Selvedge...it is a beautiful image. this place being desert with such vastness all around lends itself to things being experienced in an singular way.
Jude, yes...that is how it feels here. the immensity of sky, the circular horizon, clearly visible no matter where i look.. when "the world" is too much with me, all i need to do is look up and be comforted.
hello, raven ~ when i came to this acre of land, there was not even one rock...large stone. there was nothing but sand and in that month of August, 3 kinds of weeds. none even a foot tall. slow but sure, like creating a story cloth, i added and added. there are many circles of stone/rock now around the various tree wells, garden beds, marking places where a single native grass has taken root. sometimes i have moved them and placed them in other patterns when i needed help, needed direction, needed to quiet myself inside the world around and all its doings.

it is the smallness of the figure, or the sense of scale that i love the most.
Hmmm...I think I carried this in my mind (or maybe my heart) because I just stitched a moon with a bit of gauze over the top of it. :)
i see her standing beneath a mountain, is that what you see grace? k.
yep, that small woman is perfect. her tree is small, too.
ha, i just saw a face between the raven's wings, has it just appeared or was it there before?

no matter where i look..

Deb g ...moon and gauze, there
is great affinity
velma, small conserves strength in
desert places
kaite...i see what you mean but
it depends on the light. it's
not really there.
