lately i have been thinking about how much i miss creating performance art. most of my creative time has been spent making jewelry. while satisfying and money making (both very important to me as a self-employed artist), there is just something about being hunched over a dusty dirty bench that can never compare to a huge open studio space and bodies moving together.
this pic may have to be my inspirational jumping off place…
A shaft of sunbeam awakens me at dawn.
My slumber has been of one dead for a thousand years:
Deadened by thoughts of culpability and then,
Sudden innocence.
Awe and wonder overtake the moment
As the light settles in.
But fear raises expectations of loss and
Grandeur — neither of which hold a place
In this reality, nor a grasp on the epiphany.
(This is the light of choice.
This is the light of choice.
This is the light of choice.)
Opening the shades fully,
I take in the miraculous, blue of
A cloudless
Father sky.
Today, if I could be any creature of my choosing,
I would choose the dragonfly:
For when I watch them circling about –
buffeting against one other –
I am drawn into their play and
I long to be part of it.
I know that in my current body
That is not possible.
So, for today
I will watch longingly as they
cling and bounce, to and fro.
I just finished a two-day basket workshop, and this is the result. The material used is willow bark, and it is amazing to work with. Beautifully grown, harvested, and prepared by our teacher, Judy Zugish. With eleven people making a variation of the same basket, no two were the same. Such a great creative opportunity in such a nurturing environment.
