We shared intimate bits from our layered lives. Emma has a degree in Art History with a focus on African art. The large shards of blue glass piercing one of my tree reliquary sculptures reminded her of a piercingly effective tribal ritual involving sculptures, nails and truth telling. Emma works for a nature conservancy. We spoke of grief, grace and some of the the torn heart moments experienced as we have each cared for and lost a parent to Alzheimer’s. Emma and her husband love to spend time in Montana ‘tho this was their first trip to Cliff’s Cabin.
How do I describe the “Christmas feels” when art purchasing becomes a gift exchange? Emma is giddy about the two pieces she will take home from the “Sonnet Series.” I am giddy about the two pieces finding their perfect home.
Always honored and a bit in awe at the spirit connection through expression - the magic spun. Love and truth telling.
The artworks from the “Sonnet Series”can be seen in their entirety on my website (shown here in multiple detail shots).
