Spirit Cloth

How Yesterday was another Place to Begin

It was a comment.

Liz.

Like Patchwork.

I can work with this, what do you think? Maybe add it to my Sanity/Basket Series. And I think it will be big. Eventually. Maybe in my last workshop.

I'll be away for a few days. To climb a steep slope and consider living up there.

Out of the Blue

 

Sanity # ?

I have lost count.

But I haven't lost track.

This is one of my favorite composition styles.

The Sanity Effect. A math. There is a center, nine, the square, a sense of expansion. And always another box. A challenge yet a point of reference.

The sanity series is based on a simple quilt math of 1-2-3 (inches). The piece is now 15" square.

A little bit about quilt math here. Until I move it to Feel Free.

Composition is so much about point of reference. Composition is a kind of story in itself. Composition will need it's own page over there.

Late last night I was calling this Off the Wall, today I am back to Out of the Blue. If I keep taking these off the wall and letting them expand, there will be no space left between them when they are pinned back up and they all might become one. A thought. Just caught. In the spirit of thinking.

How I Imagine it might Go

Amazing how time flies.

It's been 2 years since I started this.

Maybe it is time to lose linear time. How is it that I always return to it?

It's on the wall. Only for today.

I hung it quickly. Not straight. It doesn't matter. I will spend the day with an exercise I've tried before but this time it is quite key to the concept of the cloth as it has developed. There is a pattern here. A kind of square basket.  The rings are breaking apart as I go. But the logic remains. I am going to look for a very long time. Align myself with the pattern.  Then I am going to close my eyes and try to capture what I remember along with what is imagined which is always present too. Then I am going to go. Never looking at it like this again.  I will try to hold the expanding pattern in my mind. And then maybe, when it is complete, trust that it's form is true, has been held and give it away. Because that is what it is for. It is a gift. It is a blanket.

How big will it be? Big enough.
