My day was a circle of gratitude for the loving support I am receiving from my family and artists supporters. I woke with the headache and the weather change turning cold overnight seemed to irritate the circumstances of the numerous headaches. I rested and went to making slow movements...I had planned to make a few errands today but decided to remain home and work quietly. I am finishing my small collaboration 's transformation into a vessel. I am also attempting to work on the large Australian quilt so that I can put the binding onto it so it can be photographed for a postcard. I am looking at about 35 days to complete my works so that we have a week to install and make final adjustments for the gallery. Ken worked on getting the first floor together in preparation for Lynn and her assistant to come to the studio to check on the work's progress. I am planning a relaxing lunch and tea for everyone involved as we make our final selections and share collaborative ideas about the details for every one's considerations and satisfaction.
I ordered a few more research books from Amazon...they are getting every penny of any extra funds I might have. I do love my books...technical and historical books.. both have a strong hold on my curiosities. The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp is one that should be arriving some time next week. I have been wanting to read this for quite awhile so now I will have it at my leisure to pick up. Eva Hesse was a young remarkable artist who died at the age of 34 and her name keeps showing up in my consciousness so I ordered a paperback with her minimalism sculptural works...very "thready" inspirations and her drawings are mesmerizing when I study them . John Daido Loori has two entries ...Zen of Creativity and a photographic poetic combination to encourage the viewer to hear with one's eyes...sounds strange but the sample I read and saw online were so beautifully captured in this small book. I will pass on my humble review later when I am working through this latest surge of interest. I am hopeful that you have had a creative weekend and restful tomorrow.
