Happy Monday morning! It's hard to believe July is nearly gone. I certainly don't feel I have completed all my summer projects and plans. The time just whizzes by; I will never have enough time to bring all my ideas to life!
Half the Sky, my newest small series is not ready for viewing yet, but soon. I would be interested to hear others' interpretations of what "Half the Sky" means to them. I find the term really evocative, and discovered it because of a book I read by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn: Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. (http://www.halftheskymovement.org/). The book is fascinating and has made me think about how much women worldwide do to support the world. We really do hold up half the sky!
Choosing a theme and working in series is a great way to explore a topic while also stretching my creativity muscles (and ligaments and tendons and brain cells and those little carpal tunnels...). It's always good to set some parameters on the work one makes; it actually forces an artist to be more creative. One's art can get pretty messy when you can choose from virtually everything!
Keeping that in mind, today I will work in my studio on my tapestry series. More on that later!
