Light Allowed

Art comes with light inside it. 

Given safe haven it can actually glow, and light up, because with the door to the heart open, and the windows allowing fresh air in, you can breathe in a sigh of relief and create.

As artists we bring to the studio our need, want, and desire, and become present to the Present. We become one with the unfolding nature of an origamic bend, we allow the curve to show us the way forward, we allow the rounded passage to lead the way.

In this present journey we have been layered into depth with the whiteness, the layering of the snow, as it shows us the information before our eyes. The stillness, the quiet, then the movement; the sight, the stretch, and reach into the void. We trust this process, our studio self is entered by the gaze that allows, and we drop into safety, the safety of creation.

As we create, we are in touch with our Divine self, the one forever in touch with the magic that brings something from nothing, new from old, familiar to new, old to refreshed and liberated. We hold on to our magic wand and it emits light.

The new body of work brings our body into a numbered presence, and the texture, fiber, and thread are woven into a journey, that brings compassion, harmony, and well-being, from the deep dive of a watered presence.

The emotional body of art is lit, it's colors are selected though the feelings, and as you art, you are connected to the threads of an ancient sacred passage.

We feel this with each new stage of our practice, our work, our creativity.

In the between we find answers uncommon to many, yet real and filled with grace for us, as we travel the patterns. The night yawns its self into our lives and we live in both worlds, available and present.

Hope this day finds you present to an ever-unfolding journey, one that nurtures your vision, and expands your creative expression.
