Create/Space: The answer is already there.
I have been back in Colorado for about two weeks. I keep looking back on my time at Createspace Wales, reflecting on the lessons there. I learned so much about myself, and my need to be in the natural world.Essentially, I discovered that my life does not...
Create/Space: Thoughts as I am leaving
Tomorrow afternoon, I conclude my residency at Createspace Wales, and head back to Cardigan for a night before going to London the next day. I get a few days in London with my husband, before the whole adventure is over.It feels like I just got here, and...
Create/Space: Observation #2
Taking part in this residency, in such a rural part of the world, where nature is the undercurrent of nearly everything in the way of life here, has allowed me to reconnect with a part of myself I had long forgotten. It is a part that needs to be part of...
Create/Space: Observations
I hiked back up to Mwnt today, this time with the intention to paint there. I wanted to attempt to capture the colors; also, it is a strange and beautiful place. It holds deep history, and you can feel it. The church here has stood for centuries, and the...
Create/Space: When Art is Surprising
Before I came, I assumed that I would just plop down into another studio an ocean and half a land mass away, and just make the same work I always do.But that is not what happened.Truthfully, I should not have expected myself to just plug back into the...
Create/Space: Following the Path
I swear this isn't some sort of walking holiday, or that I am re-enacting Wild but in West Wales instead of the Pacific Crest Trail. I will admit that there are similarities. A woman alone, hiking along an official national trail of significance. But...
Create/Space: Beginning the Work
"The call is to leave a certain social situation, move into your own loneliness and find the jewel, the center that's impossible to find when you're socially engaged. You are thrown off-center, and when you feel off-center, it is time to go...When you cross the...
Create/Space: A Change of View
After yesterday's angst, I needed a day to just be, and it turned out to be perfect weather for just such a day. After visiting in Cardigan and seeing some of the growing art scene there with a new artist friend, we drove up the coast to take in the views....
Create/Space: Detox from the Cultivation of Busy
I live in the culture of busy; no, the cultivation of busy, like a fine wine, only instead of the nectar of the gods, I get more things to do. I have built a life in which I do, do, and do more, until I collapse. And sadly, it seems like almost everyone I know is like...
Create/Space: Oh, the Possibilities
I leave in a few days for the U.K. and Wales specifically. I am getting nervous in a way I don't remember being nervous about travel in some time. Perhaps never, in fact. This time, I am traveling alone; I am leaving my family; I am going somewhere completely new and...
Create/Space: A New Blog Series
In a few short weeks, I will be traveling to the far reaches of Wales in the United Kingdom to take part in an artist residency at Createspace Wales. To say I cannot wait is a bit of an exaggeration; truly, I cannot contain myself with excitement. It will be two weeks...
The Persistence of the Gesture
At its core, art is about leaving a mark. This ranges from the conceptual work that leaves a thought in a viewer’s mind, to a three-dimensional sculpture carving out space, to the ubiquitous gestural mark in painting and drawing. The last is the mark that most...
