Mind filler story I have a friend who is losing her faculties to Alzheimer’s, slowly but visibly – each time we meet, a distance of a few months, an inevitability of her decline sets in, sadly; she is fading away… Fading away…recent memories thinning out, clinging to the past, emotions flat or irritated, pinning time […]
Clay sculpture We built the brain out of an air drying clay – nascent, empty of experience or emotion, devoid of identity and past – hollow in its emptiness. Neurophysiologically and philosophically – it is doubtful that the brain is ever ’empty’ of experience. But this is the start of its life and evolution – […]
Sculptures, garden, prints Summer is sneaking in shyly, garden awakening, busy with critters and birds, blooms emerging. Yet, few ‘inhabitants’ of my garden remain sleepy in their dreaming reverie amongst chirping, breezes, and fragrances of nature. These are my garden sculptures that I sprinkled around over time; now an integral fabric of the garden. Several […]
Photography I know very little about Iceland. Far away Northern land, empty and mysterious. Sparse population speaking uniquely difficult language, imbedded in storytelling, mist and ice. I always felt some vague kinship with all Northern lands, living myself in one. Sense of vastness and loneliness, lands of unfathomable landscapes where contemplation of our minute presence […]
Clay Sculptures We have flirted, shyly, with a notion of 3D (and 5D). With the fact that we exist in space that surrounds us, all around. Sculpture, representational or abstract, is fascinating for that exact reason – you have to walk around it to fully appreciate its position, expression and motion from all angles and […]
…is easy Summertime descended upon us fast, as often is the case with Canadian season transitions…winter blues turns into a short spring bliss when everything grows at ‘5 inches a day rate’ and, in few short weeks, we are settled in full summer; bloom and nature lushness, surprising and abundant. There is an excitement about […]
Masks – Anthropology, Art and Covid Our identity is expressed in different ways, but most often through facial expressions -a mirror of our souls. Smile, wrinkled forehead, eyes shining with excitement or drowning in tears. But, we often cover our face – out of necessity, or belief, or deceit, or playfulness – to assume an […]
Clay sculptures and figurines Unlike paintings that create an illusion of space, objects occupy space. You can view them all around, front, back, side; they are palpably 3D. Figurative or abstract, sculpture is all about dimensions. Space and our place in it. Objects relate to each other and can be used in 3D installations. These interactions […]
