Second piece of a series of hand-printed tapestries. They depict a collection of memories I had with all the wild animals drawn during a very hard period of time, where i had to be isolated in a natural environment to heal.

Really enjoyed playing with cyanotype last week. Love the immediacy and the unpredictiblness of the medium. Next step would be to try to tint them with tea or coffee. Does anyone have any tips on hunting prints with natural liquids? And what kind of thing is better to use for the bleaching solution? . . . . #print #printmaking #cyanotype #experimental #cameralessphotography #blue #outsideprintmaking #printmakersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CEtL8h5D5ox/?igshid=1nx59gshlcdl4
The Fleeting Cathedral by Russell Moreton Via Flickr: Shroud Richard Stillman Yard and Metre Event, Winchester As the marks resonated, did they sound true? Could we tolerate margins of error or latitude? Is there strength in that built by blue ink? It is hard to see without certainty. Why have they flown, gathered, shrouded? Is the date significant? A memorial? Or is it white noise reverberating, striking parallels, refusing focus, insisting? The shape of the cross is still distinct but opening out, refusing definition, never quite caught as an intention, pinned on dimensions it wants to refuse. When objects or atmospheres collide energy is transferred, a new force may be created. And, as forensic scientists can attest, when objects touch they exchange traces, each leaves something of itself with the other. This is why artists enjoy collaborating. Working with another artist can give a jolt of inspiration, a spark of creative thinking, a surge of new skill, the stimulus for a new work. And the experience will leave its mark in some way on each individual’s practice. The specific ‘collision’ may also result in a work which has its own integrity, which does not belong’ to either party and where their particular contributions merge indistinguishably - in effect fusion takes place. This is the thinking behind 10 days | Creative Collisions and for The Yard artists and Hyde Writers it was the ideal excuse to come together, to let the shockwaves flow and see what new possibilities emerged. As with all the best creative practice, in science or in art, this has been an experiment, it involved risk, trust and open minds. Whether or not the outcomes are fully resolved they will be filled with potential - and with potency.

“Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.” ―Frank Herbert, Dune
Sometimes human expressions of inner feelings and ideas have not a logical origin. As human beings and part of a chaotic universe, our way to express ourselves doesn’t always have a clear logic. This characteristic also defines the way we experience our journey in this reality. As Frank Herbert also states in the same novel: “The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.”
Join me for my next marketplace event happening at Jo’s Farms (2017 Rio Grande Blvd, Albuquerque NM) on April 23rd for their “Bring Your Own Basket” Mother’s Day Shop & Stroll.
I will have a handful of original cyanotype prints from my 2018 Garden Series, as well as kitchen accessories & home decor. Hope to see you there.
It was my grandmas 76th birthday this past Friday and my grandpas 80th is this weekend, so naturally I had to print some of their family photos. Still learning new things with every printing cycle. Nonetheless I love these images. I hope they do too! I’m going to be gifting them as birthday presents. Being able to give these special images a new life brings me such joy
