hard work & responsibility
work, family, chores, sleep
repeat
following your own nose
making your own mistakes
building who you are
throw in some fun
then work some more

adolescence
rebellion & change
on my thirteenth birthday I closed my eyes and wished…
to be twenty
i wouldn’t wish this age on my worst enemy
however, most battle through
change and rebellion
something in between
if i were to do it over again
there would be a lot more spray paint involved
i think this stick rawks

school age
routine
numbers and letters used to get most everyone in line
the rules
schoolyard and classroom both
i quite like this stick
i used to quite like the rules (not such a fan any longer. i have a friend to thank for that)
it was made in the company of some formidable ladies
it just feels good this one

play age
fun & games
my kiddies are recent graduates of play age
if this is not the best time of ones’ life, than…
the secret is returning to that inner five-year old
often
i do. no surprise
i did. in making this stick
this one makes me smile
happy

toddler
wonder
i remember this age
fondly, clearly
mostly, i think of it as an age of wonderment
and conjures for me a sense of movement
the clouds, the ladybug, the red balloon
then i remember my twins at this age
…and it is mostly dread

infancy
building blocks
smallest of the sticks
black and white vision
elemental development
simple in its complexity
…or is it complex in its simplicity?
better for people of smaller stature either way

e.t.d.
ten days
they are finished and all dressed
ready to set off on their journeys
for the eight days to come, i will introduce each of our “walk with me” #NBO12 sticks
i am excited for the start of their adventure
the concept has lived in me for some time now
the intention of the project is to allow the night to shape a collaborative inter-active piece in celebration of connectedness, both within ourselves and with those among us. inviting others to actively collaborate taps into the energy of what is most beautiful in life, self-love, connection, self-expression, fun, creation, community
join the flickr group to follow the action starting during Nuit Blanche Ottawa september 22
the group is the canvas for the project. as photos of the journeys are uploaded and shared, the snaps will start to paint a, some, picture
watch the collage take shape
(she hopes! fingers crossed!)
i wonder where we will go?
