20"x20", Rives BFK, acrylic stained fabric, wax thread, watercolor crayon, light molding paste and clear tar gel.This is the second piece created from a recent fascination with the announced discovery of a large planet in and around our solar system. I believe the report said the location was in shadow near the cloud Oort. The details don't interest me but the names and ideas set me off in my own thoughts and imaginings. Below are a few lines from my journal on this subject which became fodder for at least two pieces. I'm easily moved by mythologies, antiquities, astronomy.
Remnants of the Wait Station
Long ago bearing the winds and sand storms which having left mere threads, bits of cloth
holding on to the rare jewel of the promised rest
Accommodations sparse, food and drink measured
Love ever available in this dark shadow of the Cloud called Oort.
My Winter Solstice is coming to an end and I will be posting more often. This time has been good for me...gotten me back on a tighter studio schedule and helped me to "see to" art related goals. I have never really left blogland as most mornings with a cup of coffee, I take a tour of all of your sites!
