Light Grey

September 16

Light grey skies and the rain, just as light.
Down comforter, we are beneath the clouds and comforted by their presence.

Cool last days of summer, here in the east, time for soups, hot teas, light blankets, books, knitting, and all things that make a person feel cosy.

Art can be very cosy, ours feels that way so much of the time. It envelopes you with its aura and the story within it.

All our paintings, our photography, our sculptures, altered books, come out of the numbers and letters of creativity. When you see something we've created, it's either in a book, or there is a book about it. We do not separate the word from the image, the knowing from the feeling, we do include the atmosphere and environment in our work, so that you can go back to a piece and be engaged in a new way each time you see it.

Isn't life that way for you? When you see someone you know, they aren't a snapshot, a still, static picture, they move, change, and grow.

In the studio, we enter it each day, and each day it is different for us, as we are different in each new day ourselves. The studio reaches out to us as a beloved friend and companion, and we nest into like returning birds.

Today, as for the past several days, the studio has been a writing studio, as we gather together the photography and writing for this new show, "The Fish Files". One more group of photographs, and we being the process of building the books, this series has 13 books in all, quite the undertaking, but then we have been diving deep all year long.

Hope your day finds you enjoying the sky above you, the cosy within you, and the light all around you.
