Thoughts while thinking & repeating

I originally posted this in 2018, my words remain beneath the snow and in the clouds

Elso the Propped, Inherits the Earth

This is my 12th clay story along the journey into sculpture. I love creating narratives through art.
You decide what Elso is roaring…

Little Black a Pony

A spread from the book that supported me through childhood.

….Red Sweater Boy in his red jacket astride Big Red (red – the primary look-at-my-power color) gallop away from the farm. In a sheer moment of panic at the loss of his friend, Little Black charges after the couple.

But, the little pony can’t keep pace with the powerful stallion…

Will Red Sweater Boy realize the depth of his friend’s heartbreak before something tragic unfolds?

Is Big Red capable of caring about a less-powerful animal?

Will Little Black tire out, lose heart, end all protest and lose his friend?

Graveyard

I’ve been crawling through the basement of my creative left-behinds & freeing their souls to do as they will

God is a clock-tick, tick, tick

Despair is a fast trade commodity these days. I post these words-because I do despair-but I’m not giving up. Writing like this helps me face my fears-and once you face the monster-you see the best ways to defeat it…

Can We Just Runaway…

A pencil sketch I made of my dear friend, DS Levy, when she was a child.
(Inspired by a childhood photo DS shared with me taken by a childhood friend)

The ‘poem’ above was written this morning after feeling overwhelmed by the news. I wrote it to remind myself that we can’t give up the fight for our country – a country where empathy, kindness, compassion, fairness, equity, science… – you know – the good stuff that makes us human – once prevailed

We are better than the sum of this current government
We are much better

Casino Limbo – Character No.4

Sculpt no. 11 – Casino Limbo
The SPECTRE – The final character of Casino Limbo. Their hearts are beyond anything we understand. Their hearts are encompassing, embracing and waiting. They dance on casino tables and kick over chairs. The chains of the universe wrap around their necks. They fear endlessly for their existence and ours.
