A few marionettes I've made and a pretty song for you. ♥

She
could ride through the sky on the floating clouds, straddle the sun and moon,
and travel beyond the four seas.
Neither death nor life can cause changes within her,
and there's little reason for her to even consider benefit or harm.

"It was one of those nights, crossing Ireland, motoring through the sleeping towns from Dublin,
where you came upon mist and encountered fog that blew away in rain to become a
blowing silence. All the country was still and cold and waiting. It was a night for
strange encounters at empty crossroads with great filaments of ghost spiderwebs
and no spider in a hundred miles. Gates creaked far across the meadows,
where windows rattled with brittle moonlight. It was as they said, banshee weather." --

Banshee: Bradbury

I have been so busy that I have neglected to update as frequently as I would like to. There are piles of photos collecting dust; I promise to post them on here very soon. 

I have been working with a group of wonderful artists starting a theater company called Silent Bell Theater. We just finished our first play entitled "Living Ghost" on the 2nd to a sold out audience and it was the most rewarding experience I can remember having in a long time. I feel awakened by a new passion for abstract theater and puppetry and by the collaboration process of working with others, which has never been something I've done with my art before. I shall upload a video of one of our finished puppet shows as soon as I can; I'm excited about sharing it with all of you.

I hope you all are well and have had wonderful, safe, and happy holidays

Love,
L

Hello dears,
It has been quite some time since I've had an update. My summer is coming to an end. It has been very wonderful and very busy. I've learned how to peacefully accept isolation; like a vast warm and humming blanket, taking solace in the quiet when I need it. I've been spending my weekends in a small cottage in the forest; where it gets cold at night. Lighting a fire; the smell of wood and smoke collecting on my hair and skin. Living as a hermit with only the bears and deer, my pencils, and books, and night time stew. I'm thankful for all of it.
Will and I will be moving to San Miguel Mexico very soon. I hope the warmth and change welcomes me as graciously as I welcome it.

For my upcoming art galleries, I decided to also update my website.
achromatics.com
Hopefully, you all enjoy the new layout. Each week I will offer new pieces for sale which can now be bought directly on the site.







The Wu Wei - a passage

"What is art?" I asked the hermit. We were sitting upon the mountain-side,
in the shadow of an overhanging rock. Before us stretched the sea - one
endless gleam of light in the sunshine. Golden sails were driving quietly over it,
and white seagulls sweeping in noble curvings lightly hither and thither, while
great snow-pure clouds came up and sailed by in the blue, majestic in progress, steady
and slow.

"It is as natural as the sea - the birds - the clouds," he answered. "I do not think
thou wilt find this so hard to grasp and feel as Tao. Thou hast only to look around
thee - earth, clouds, atmosphere, everything wilt teach it thee. This is the natural
spontaneous voice of heaven and earth; the voice that is caused by movement."

The breath of travel is still lingering close behind me. There is nothing like being in a van with nine other people, driving down unfamiliar roads and learning to love one another as much as you love yourself. It's during these times when it's hard to remember what home really means to me; the people I leave behind and those who are still close to my heart even when they're so very far away. That is one thing my heart is learning to do this summer; it is slowly learning how to better love someone from a distance. And I'm finding that this kind of love is one of the most selfless kinds of love there is.

A letter dearest to my heart:
My Darling,

Less like the way our jaws come together. No, more as our lips are left on our smoke
The clouds that barely move,
slowly wrapping and winding.
Coming together. As if they are from the same sky.
We know they are.

This is the way you move in my heart. At once embracing - and being.

xxx

I had a quiet and beautiful Christmas. I think I'll pretend it's not over just yet. At least for a little while longer.
I hope your holidays were lovely and sweet and full of granted wishes too. xox
