Do you know how sometimes, you’re so close to something that you can’t see it?
Well, last night I work up from a dream and said “uhk! I was dreaming I was sorting silverware, what a waste of a dream.”
I could be doing absolutely anything in my dream and there I am organizing my forks and knives. But, Jon, who was also awake by now, said it wasn’t a waste, it was a new streaming piece.
And I actually remembered it when I woke up in the morning. I saw it as I meditated, the woman tossing her silverware haphazardly at a target and it falling to the ground. With her other hand she is artfully and recklessly stacking dishes.
When I hung the unfinished piece on my studio wall to get a better look at it, I noticed how similar it was to colors and shapes of the images on my wall.
This piece is sold.
Your stuff is so intensely vivid, avant-garde maybe even similar to the Fauvism period. Looks like you might like Gauguin, I think I might see one of his paintings as a print in your collection.
I’m familiar with Gauguin, and yes, I do like his paintings.
What a brilliant piece, Maria. In many ways. Keep dreaming! And streaming. Actually, I don’t exactly know what streaming means. A little explanation?
These pieces just come to me Terry, sometimes in a dream or just by sitting and sewing. No preliminary drawings, as in stream of consciousness.
Masterful! Nice work, Maria.
You took a chore so boring and made it come alive with color and happiness. Love it ! I will think of this as I sort the silverware and wish I had that stack of cups. Oh they are so fun.
