I think that when we turn to our earth, she is a patient teacher. My hope is to find ways to acknowledge her and to express my appreciation of her; making work about her feels like offering her a tribute - small homage, I know, but heartfelt. <br />Love to you and thanks for your recent e-, Jane, which I have yet to respond to. xClaire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-29312332719094093792011-08-19T02:52:07.650+12:002011-08-19T02:52:07.650+12:00Your works are mesmerizing.

" Thank you for seeing this, and for the way you have expressed it. I'm working on a series of these, each one with references to a different skeletal feature, braced, wrapped, stitched. . . i.e. lovingly attended to, for the purposes of facilitating healing. There's a lot of light in that darkness, in those underground spaces and it wants illuminating. . .

It would have been good to meet you. As it is, my daughter and I are still in Chch. Bus services between here and Dunedin have been cancelled this week, so we've ended up staying on for a while longer than initially anticipated, but I left my good snow-walking boots at home (still wet from a beach walk!), so haven't been out in the weather much since getting back to town. (We just made it over the peninsula hills on Sunday before the fronts 'proper' came through). Next time I come up (Spring!) it would be great to have a get-together with local TP poets. Take care, Catherine, apologies for the essay, and keep warm!

I often feel conflicted about adding words to the mix but in their way they help (me?) to synthesize what's in me as an image makes its way onto the page. To be honest, half the time I don't know what's going to appear, only that something will. This series is very much an interpretation of current times, yes. Thank you for seeing this - and for saying you like what's happening. ; )Claire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-83958339082555078062011-08-15T08:06:16.013+12:002011-08-15T08:06:16.013+12:00there is something i am trying to put into words a...there is something i am trying to put into words about your artworks here, and i don't want to sound stupid, so please forgive me if i dont quite manage to say what i mean. but what draws me in these images is the way the lower portions make me think of the human skeleton, delicate abstract renditions of it, very beautiful, but buried under the earth, like bones. it somehow likens the earth to humans in the sense of wounding, of vulnerability. it makes me feel these images intensely, even though i can't quite explain.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-53904037484777037102011-08-13T16:35:16.449+12:002011-08-13T16:35:16.449+12:00Dear Claire, ((((0)))) xoDear Claire, ((((0)))) xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-27160826738657161452011-08-12T18:30:18.914+12:002011-08-12T18:30:18.914+12:00Sorry, too late for me to make the opening.
