shedding light
there is something i am drawn to by this shed
the same yet different every time i look
i feel the same way about the moon
a supermoon is set to hang over us
i am hopeful she will shed light
bring clarity

limbs
this is very inconvenient
dishes need washing
canvases need priming
I need my paper snipping hand back!!!
oddly enough, while working lame, on another limb, a tree branch
i re-located my wrist
apparently sawing with a dislocated wrist wasn’t
the worst idea i had that day
…and the walk with me walking stick project is off and away
this project has many sources of inspiration. one being a similar project by fellow heARTist Stephen B. MacInnis. there will be eight in total. the one above is the first and has started (with my sawing) its journey.
on the night of nuit blanche ottawa all eight hBg treated walking sticks will be set free. a small message will request of those that walk with us to share a snap of their journey with the stick before they pass it along or leave it to be found by another. if it works the way I hope it will the snaps will be uploaded to a group on flickr and this collage of snaps will tell a story.
…so i need my hand back because there are seven other walking sticks to start!

the night
my obsession with the nigh-time cityscape continues
this time some beautiful printed silk, that i picked up a while back in NYC, was stretched
then painted
this was done a few days ago
before i dislocated my wrist a little
this may slow me down a few days
pity

excerpts
John Graham’s System and Dialectics of Art
“Art in particular is a systemic confession of personality”
John D Graham – Two Sisters [1944]
Oil, enamel, charcoal and casein on composition board, 121.4 x 121.8 cm
“The abstract purpose of art is to arrest the eternal motion and thus establish personal contact with static eternity”
“The origin of art lies in human longing for enigma, for the miraculous, for expansion, for social communication, for continuity and consequently – life eternal.”
makes perfect sense to me
