Cast me out again and again. I’ve found I have a pattern of starting a streaming pillow then half way through not liking it and beginning another with the same theme. I started this one a couple of weeks ago then moved on to another.
But when I looked at it a week later, I liked what I saw. (I especially love the strange blue figure with her arms in the air, flailing her head) Maybe it was just my mood, at the time I felt it was too dark. Maybe I was just too close to it. Or maybe I just have to trust myself and the process more. When I got back to work on this one, I made it vibrate with the yellow thread, then I added the pink, to give it more depth. The title “No More Ladders I’ll Fly Up” came about when a truck with a ladder sticking out the back of it drove past my studio. The words just poured out.
“no more ladders I’ll fly up, cast me out and I begin again, miles of muck I’ll catch the sun, turn it around, keeping the faith, watch me walk”
No More Ladders is for sale. It’s $75 + $10 shipping. Just let me know on my comments or email me if you’re interested [email protected]
