in search of antimaterie and greening winds: sundust



a quartet of news from yesterday and today:

Referential Magazine started their new year with a poem by Joshua Gray which refers to my artwork Antimaterie (which itself was inspired by the poem "One Layer Deeper" by Helen Losse). as the image now has more than one referral now, it has been moved to an own Referential Antimaterie page.

Sweet oversesas arrival in the mail: a christmas card from California with a poem included: "in search of water". thank you, Marcia!

And more new year poetry: the Leaf Press co-op poem 2012 is online, and includes a photo i took in December during the day of heavy snowfall: Lines Drawn from Greening Winds

Also, it's day 3 of the river of stones - which, seen from a literal/elementary point of view, perfectly connects to the search of water, even though my third stone is of the blue-sky-dusty kind:

the first day of blue sky
after an overcast week:
the dust on the windows
lights up in dots and comets.


conneced to the stones: today i found this description of the stone-exercise which wraps a lot of it up in 2 lines: "It’s a small and magical practice. Stop. Look. Here you are. Right here. Right now. What do you see? Pay attention. Write it down." (- Jean Morris)

the lines also made me think of photography. this moment of holding in, of trying to catch what we just saw, what touched us for some reason.
