How do you incorporate art into everyday life?

Art is my life. I am also exploring a spiritual path that leads away from the briar patch of anxiety, jealousy and tears of low self-esteem. Up the mountain… my eyes are looking. So every day I sit meditation and watch my ego mind chattering, swinging through the low lying branches and just observe. One suggestion that a long time student offered was to visualize the ego as an animal and give it a name.

Then when the ego appears, remember discipline. Gentleness. Not anger is the way to a calmer co-relationship. My ego is a chimpanzee much like the one who used to be in the Tarzan series on TV in the 50’s. Her name is Cheetah and she puts up a god awful racket.

She can talk, she can swing agilely from one idea to another, from one branch to another with her lips curled out. She is also amazingly clever. A real entertainer is this ego creature. But don’t be fooled. She has teeth and will either attack or throw her long arms about and sulk noisily if she doesn’t get her way.

Consequently, I need every tool I can find to deal with 65 years of programming. This is where the idea for my newest art pieces came from.

What fun! In anticipation of teaching hand crafted books for UBC O Extention Services, I made five handmade books including my poetry and digital imagery for sale in Vernon. The task was engaging and allowed me to explore the interaction between my poetry and my visual/digital art.

My plan is to continue to produce these books and to make versions that are not water soluable. I don’t want to make mass produced items but simply to explore how to produce books that are more sturdy.

Last week I worked ten hour days on marketing and production. I will be loading up images of the new small mdf magnets that I have been painting called “miniature masterpieces” for my site next week. I have also begun to find places to hang my art in the business or corporate setting. The eight pieces I have up at my doctor’s new office are stunningly appropriate for the setting. I always intuited that my work would work best in a contemporary setting.

Coldwell Banker is thinking about putting pieces up in their office and I will produce some giant works for a new furniture store in the Mission area of Kelowna.

I am waiting to receive the catalogue from the Trevisan “Traces of Memory” show in Ferrar, Italy. Photographs of the show are forth coming.

Always more to do in terms of getting my work out into the world. Stay tuned I will be adding links and images soon.
