heARTbeatgal’s contribution for To The Power of N

thirteen squares of beautiful paper
from my local vietnamese haberdashery
the artist, Joel Lambeth, is seeking thirteen identical bits of “something”
for inclusion in the artists’ materials of his collaborative collage project
how could i not collaborate?
they are en route to australia now, along with my good vibes

it may only be recently that i call myself artist first, after mother
more than three years now that i have been compelled to create
but it was always quietly present
i remember well the feeling painting this watercolour portrait of my mother

memory fails me, but this was a decade or so ago
it was the same deeply satisfying creative bliss i tap into regularly now
glimpses of what i now know will forever be with me
i thank the spirits for painting

…when n equals twelve!
To The Power Of N is an ongoing creative experiment
orchestrated by australian collage artist Joel Lambeth
he chooses other collage artists to create unique collage artworks
using only a specific set of materials provided

(exhibition catalogue 2011)
This time ’round, to the Power of N is seeking twelve artists
exponentially more brilliant!
math references and all, this is my kind of heART!!
thanks to the inter-webs for helping me to locate
these other members of my tribe
excellent fun!
