IMPERFECT Lady

Lookalike.

This is the Art Director posing with my quilts. I LOVE how she chose to interact with my art.  This will be one of my favorite photographs.

 

There was an artist reception for me and I decided that I would get others to interact with my art.

It was so much fun! 

When your face is being taken care of - you then use your body to express yourself. 

We all smiled big behind the quilt. Just a reflex when someone takes your picture, you put your best face forward.

The fun we had with these faces will encourage me to make more. 

Interacting with my art, brought a lighthearted fun energy to the space!

 

It was exciting for me to create them, and then fun to display them; but way more fun to pose with them.  And, what is even more exciting is that two women saw themselves in my art.  Two have found new homes with their lookalike.

 

 

(My quilts are being featured at the Gallery on 5th Street in Calumet until February 4th - where you can go and pose with a face.)

 

Exercise in Imagination

 

She hasn't always been sure of love and the sentiments of Valentines.  

It seemed to her it was a made up holiday; one where you forced love upon unloving things.

Hearts were repelling, as was the color pink.

Romantic seemed to be a game in play acting.

 

Until

She loved herself.

 

Now she sees what all the fuss was about.

How it is to celebrate the heart and how it can break and still feel love.

It seems the greatest part of her lives - from her heart.

 

Perhaps being comfortable in her own love of self - allowed her to feel the solidness of love.

 

Whereas before - prior to self love - it was all just a exercise in imagination.
