"The works I have made have been about the isolation we all experienced due to social distancing, the fears of the virus, the breathlessness associated with the disease.  For me personally, art has always been a source of solace, comfort, inspiration and a way to gain perspective during times of distress. I firmly believe in the power of art – be it music, films, poetry and literature, dance and drama, and the visual arts." (excerpt from Quartz India)]]> 2020-12-17 17:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/CONSENSES/xsonzdapn8s1eqai/wish/1028631645 https://padlet.com/CONSENSES/xsonzdapn8s1eqai/wish/1034768964 My essences were:

I wanted to capture the feeling of floating or being trapped which is part of what I see in the catalyst, but also show that one can find peace or spiritual wealth in this feeling (gold on sea floor). ]]> 2020-12-20 21:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/CONSENSES/xsonzdapn8s1eqai/wish/1034768964 https://padlet.com/CONSENSES/xsonzdapn8s1eqai/wish/1034772181 sound: Ringing in your ears scent: Burning bread

If it were a sensation, it would be that of stepping off the curb into nothingness as you fall asleep and jumping awake with your heart beating.
If it were a texture, it would be deep, rich velvet.
If it were a taste, it would be sparkling cider. If it were a color, it would be bright lime green in the moonlight.
If it were a piece of clothing, it would be a rawhide cowboy vest with tassels. If it were an animal, it would be a wolf howling at the full moon.  If it were a piece of jewellery, it would be a golden ankle bracelet with dangling charms. ]]> 2021-10-02 13:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/CONSENSES/xsonzdapn8s1eqai/wish/1785885344 CONSENSES https://padlet.com/CONSENSES/xsonzdapn8s1eqai/wish/1785888151 Sound: A flock of birds taking flight

Today I saw the fingers exclusively.  They were playing with cool black water.  Enjoying themselves at the expense and to the distress of the being beneath.  They were enjoying their freedom without regard or care for the being's anxiety at their self centered enjoyment,]]> 2021-10-02 13:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/CONSENSES/xsonzdapn8s1eqai/wish/1785888151 kottwitzart https://padlet.com/CONSENSES/xsonzdapn8s1eqai/wish/1785897932 What would the painting be if it were a

Today, I see it as everyone wanting something from you. I envisioned a floral arrangement. The bouquet would be one delicate flower surrounded by tons of thistles. I decided to make a drawing of this idea. The canoe represents the flower for me with all its potential and I've drawn twisting thistles surrounding it.]]> 2021-10-02 13:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/CONSENSES/xsonzdapn8s1eqai/wish/1785897932 https://padlet.com/CONSENSES/xsonzdapn8s1eqai/wish/1785904699 Sound- a cacophony
