Catching thoughts…. the buttonhole stitched wheels seem to represent thoughts with a trailing line connecting them…
It is an early morning practice – like meditation… I observe, I notice, I stitch with a gentle rhythm until, as in meditation and breath work, my concentration drifts away and cannot be held longer… I find the work on cloth remains with me all day, peeping through into my mind…
I journal too – another way of noticing what comes into my mind – it is quickly noted – no refining! And I photograph – the lens providing a dilated view – a deeper look to connect with.
There is a whole sketchbook to share – of buttonhole making, of reflection.. this just seemed like the place to start!
See this Brunel Broderer post for another view of where the work is!!
