This month I’m excited to share my newest work on my website called staying in the flow. I’ve been thinking about what it feels like when I reach the creative flow state and I feel that this work embodies that feeling. Moving through a repeating cycle of processes that include painting, drawing, cutting, shaping three dimensional objects that make up the parts of my work.
A few videos and books that inspired me this month:
I’ve found pleasure in watching the youtube channels: Nowness: In Residence and Honeyjubu.
I enjoy watching Honeyjubu cooking Korean food with all wooden cooking implements and beautiful cutting boards. There is something very soothing about watching her make steamed rice.
And Nowness: In Residence is a series of short home tours. I love having a peek into unique homes and gardens.
This month I enjoyed reading Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg because I’ve been practicing more creative writing. When I arrived at the end of this book, I was sad to finish reading it.
On June 3 I begin facilitating Meditation and Craft at Contemporary Craft and I was delighted to answer some questions for the Contemporary Craft blog about mindfulness and art. The article can be found right here.
I was also delighted to have a piece included in the Pittsburgh Paints Initiative, a project of First Lady of Pittsburgh Mrs. Michelle Gainey. My piece, Soft Bridges, is on display in Mayor Gainey’s office to celebrate Jewish American Heritage this month. In addition, my Cascades collages exhibit at the Swissvale Library is extended until June 30.
This month one of my journal prompts was, “what happened this week that you’d like to remember in 10 years?” The answers have surprised me.
