amazing. i looked back to last year, this month of August, to see what it looked like outside then. but what i found instead was that this time last year i was working on the cloths for Wendy's kids. and here i am again……. .~.
i don't know if this will be "right". there was no specific conversation. just that it would be a cloth about Leaving a cloth about Finishing so, in my mind, it's a cloth about Continuing, like everything seems to be these days about Continuing. about just going. about what's next. and as it seems to be for me, there really was no fore thought, just one day i picked up the large piece of linen from the thrift shop. spread it out. ripped it and had 3 pieces. there was an urge to tea dye but it just kept NOT happening and for some reason, this cloth needs to be white. well, not white white, it's a little off white, like maybe i will refer to this white as bone. and then i went out to the giant albatross shed thing and found the lid to the big kettle for the Circle, penciled it on and as i posted the other day while Waiting, just began setting scraps, fragments on. then a whole lot of just looking. it was still flat on the doortable. scraps came and went, returned, moved from here to there and some of the pieces still cause me second thoughts but truth is, none want to be taken away at this point. so this morning they are basted in place. the words post and lentil come to mind. across the top, the horizontal piece which is blank. this is doubled so that a stick can be placed through to hold it up. the cloth itself is in two panels. so a child can walk through the Circle.
it's up on the wall now. so….we'll see.
