This weekend I went to see Martha Cole and her latest work at an open house in Gloria Daly's studio. Martha had taught a book making class there the previous week so we were able to look at the students books as well as Martha's books.
Martha is a world authority on paste paper and their use in book making.
The image shows her 2 of her latest experiments (in her hands and the purpley one on the wall). She is next going to work on this stitch-paint technique at a much larger scale.
Her work is inspirational and she is a wonderful person.
There was much excitement at home this past week when a severe weather system blew across the west coast. Our trees were blown around and lost small branches but no damage done. I do enjoy a hearty storm.
After the storm I was delighted to see the contributions the trees had made to the dialogue I presently have set up.
There was lots of communication about the storm.
With the rain and warmer weather the grass is growing vigorously.
Lesley,
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading about your dialogues with the trees. Am very impressed by everything - and admire the conceptual ideas behind all the work.
Martha Cole is an excellent teacher and a wonderful person - I agree.
And congratulations on the CQA gig - it will be nice for you to get together with your articulation friends for a few days.
