Updates: March 2011

- I'll be one of two Jurors for an annual exhibit of local artists at Crossview Lutheran Church in Edina. This is in conjunction with a CIVA show there, "Picturing the Parables."
- Gave a short lecture yesterday on the Arts in Worship, at Northeast Community Lutheran. Link coming (maybe) and perhaps a few images.

Haven't been sewing much lately, and in a stubborn turn of events the creative mind refused to generate any worthwhile interpretations of the "watershed" theme (entry deadline tomorrow), instead preferring to collage in one of the sketchbooks. See below.

 Both have in common some birds, and some empty space. A place where something could have been said, but wasn't. Behind the pink square; inside the muslin pouch. Substitute images there -- empty nest. Emptiness.

But an approach to something too, my continuing obsession with found objects and dead things, detritus. Picked up or observed on walks. My private life at street-level.
