    I’m looking too and the story unfolding is true and meaningful: grace I really like this idea that you are working with of putting stitched cloth on top of larger cloth making a kind of panel. The story so clearly unfolds of your life on your land with Tay and all of the creatures and elements that make up this place you call home. Tay holding steady but with one leg inching over the woven fence, saying that yes I am getting grounded here but there is so much to see and I want to explore it all. Windwoman next to Tay, You, with the sun, the crow, wind, it’s all here and your ability to use the minimum to tell a powerful story, wll, we see it all and more importantly, we feel it all. The backdrop of the blue cloth could not be more perfect for it totally brings to life our vast and beautiful changing New Mexico sky… This is a big story, this dog, this woman, her land, our sky…

    it was so amazing to come to earth dreaming..to see the cloths in a new light..as if they were suddenly windows..doors..some kind of portal..i inviting us in..giving me a new way to look..or possibly a new way to see…and then suddenly the sky appears instead..and the boundaries are stretched even further…
    it is so you and yours watching you experiment..and it is so personal..suddenly to be reminded of how large your sky is..this sky is still so much larger than sky in delaware…but still it is not the size of the western sky…my rim is closer..becoming familiar..surprising me daily with its beauty..it is a gift..to be able to share, to watch your story, your questing..your days unfold..gentle day grace
    ps the snow is way more manageable..i will go to the post office tomorrow…cynthia

    hmmm there is a framing convention where the lower edge of the mat is a little wider than the other three edges, you have used a wider border at the top so I am finding the proportions a little difficult to reconcile from here as a photo, you will go with what you feel is right and there is a lot of difference to the dimensional quality of the cloth in real life but here’s a link to the traditional way mats are used in framing artwork

    it’s good for Looking…on this larger panel of cloth. It won’t
    Happen this way because it wouldn’t make any sense, really, but
    just for pinning. And yes…how things here Float
    Float within this sky

    skies and rims and edges and what is Within, skies rims and edges
    how it all Plays out through the days when there is light and then
    folds IN during the dark hours to become close, everything to
    everything. and still, there is a post office. a post office.
    i like those words in this moment as i write them, post office.

    this is a great link Mo and i thank you but i am just looking here,
    pinned the cloth fast and without thought really, just wanting to
    see it against the background. No thought to placement really….
    just a quick look.

    i think because you pinned t here it has already happened this way. at least for that amount of time. i let the cloths touch in many ways over time.

    yes. over time. yes and you have had such good long Time
    for this. For me, now, there is a sense of not so much time. This is new. There always was Time. Now…something is different.
    but i DID pin it and things HAVE happened because of the
    pinning. I want to understand those things.
