The dream image is reoccurring, [
link here], not every night but most, and I am still working with it, trying to untangle it or its meaning. Trying to sense what it means for me, or how it wants to inform me. When I did the first few drawings I used a pad of lined paper made of Terra Stone. Loved the idea of stone paper but it has a cool, smooth texture and is more like Mylar than paper. That being said it loves ink, actually it seems to love any thing put on it, so I found some larger sheets and set to. Doing some research on line/lines I found a sweet fact, that in geometry, lines are a primitive concept. For some reason that pleases me.

Is it similar to TerraSkin paper?
ReplyDeleteFor the dream, it seems to be going somewhere. À suivre...
I think it's the same thing Maya, have you tried it?
DeleteYes a little. I like its weight. It is more porous that Yupo, so colours tend to be more subdued,but they can still be intense. Une force tranquille...
DeleteThanks for telling me Maya that it's more porous than Yupo, I was having a hard time with that yesterday in the studio and as I am almost out I'll try Yupo next.
DeleteI love the journeys that are your lines.
ReplyDeleteThanks Olga, I'm enjoying the trip too!
DeleteGorgeous. I love that you share your work so graciously. It inspires me.
ReplyDeleteOh Deborah, what a lovely thing to say, thank you!
DeleteI haven't the words...
ReplyDeleteI'm usually the same way Jennifer, lost nouns for a while now adjectives. All kidding aside, thank you!
DeleteWow is so un-eloquent (and that's not even a word I am sure) but Wow. I love these two!
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds really good to me Fiona, thank you!
DeleteThese are stunning - especially the top one - wonderful movement and an enticement to enter - though I know not where ...
ReplyDeleteThanks you Charlton, maybe you are entering the dream too?
DeleteWOW WOW WOW!! I love this!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Chris, love your response to the piece!
DeleteI love that you said, "Lines are a primitive concept." It's the very fact as to why lines are so important.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting that together for me Liz, it's perfect. I just knew there was something right about the phrase.
DeleteHow wonderfully creative Liz! I love the mix of defined, parallel and tangled lines, order and chaos... Very complex, like the mind, turbulent... Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Isabelle, I am still trying to untangle this dream.
