Memory   $35

and finished.  In the Shop.  F  for feeling good.  so ok.  and i tried to give this one many names but Picasa wouldn't accept too many words,  so this Cloth…

Which is the memory?,  Which, the rememberer?  Does one give rise to the other? or do both give rise to EachOther?  There is the butterfly,  the Witness,  the imprinted memory of both leaf and flower,  the memory of those imprints in the vagueness of color,  like the dna of memory.  What IS memory?

What is it that remains when the Things are gone?  What is the 

trace

that remains…what is the substance of Memory?  Is it a true 

substance?   I think so.

i love how this scrap showed up…wanting to help Illustrate an unformed thought

and in a different plane….my favorite work pants of the time….

i was given a RealTimeVisual yesterday of how this happened.  A fence wire cut and unbent at the gate for Sunny Ray and Jack Flash….how when i squeeze through,  being too lazy to clear the stuff,  this wire catches.  Rips.  So i fixed the wire,  yesterday.  And today,  i worked to fix the rip.  So far,  almost done,  it's good.  Kantha.  Strong.  Worthy stitching.

 

Addendum.  How days go so fast.

Emrie…you might note the spelling change…no longer Emry,  Emrie is now about 5 inches tall.  Think of it.  Being 5 inches tall.  I am interested in this fetus with a scientific bent….being 5 inches,  forming,  swimming,  becoming.   I will be interested in a human being.  This will be the first time in my life time,  that i will HAVE THE TIME to study her.  It's a really GRAND opportunity.

    A human being – 5 inches tall! How wonderful to be able to take the the journey of growing with her in spirit. I am not likely to ever have grandchildren but i can imagine being more conscious in some way of their pre-birth life than I was of my own children. Perhaps I was too caught up with the physical.

    love the patterning on the butterfly — visual trick, though, on the pants. When I looked at the photo at first, I thought it was one of your old dolls — the socked foot being the head, obviously, and your leg the body. strange!

    growing beings are so amazing to me too. the giraffe has a being weighing 150 pounds or so…can you imagine that? or the hummingbird eggs being soooo big compared to the bird who birthed them??
    we have a griffyn growing….doctor says 6 pounds, but so amazing what all is packed into that 6 pounds…due any day now, any day she picks to join us all.

    this one is a Great grandchild and finally, i feel ready.
    With all before, i still had my own life that i felt i needed
    to guard. Always needed to work too.
    This time it feels as if it is all One Thing. All the same
    being. I’ll want to think of better ways of expressing this.
    But right now, that’s good enough.

    clothing. I do not like the actual print much at all, but
    this b side….different….

    You have an excellent imagination!
