"Moon Dreamings"
Jude calls this "integration" and "skatching"- the layering, stitching and blending of cloth to fit into a space- sketching & patchwork combined. I call it another one of her magic tricks that I'm grateful for, for the way the layers work together to become more. Deeper, richer, fuller.
"Drifting in very sweet dreams"
There's a notebook I'm carrying around these days, to catch all the ideas that seem to be wandering by. Although, whenever I start a new piece, it seems another imagining takes over. And I'm loving how things happen without a plan…like that spot of blue in the water, how it perfectly matches the boat above it. Reflecting, becoming one with . . . I didn't see it until it was stitched down. Sometimes the cloth knows just what to do."What if we lived in wonder?"
It's a funny thing, how it goes. Sometimes so far from where you began. To places you've never seen or been, but know, or hope, are out there.
If you're looking for a day dream, these pieces have floated over to the shop.
