OF FIBRE AND LIFE... Bits and pieces of cloth sewn or glued together curtain the world. Bits and pieces of knowledge skillfully intertwined make up the study of history. Every civilization has this tradition of squirreling away precious fragments untill they are needed to create a whole. Works of art,especially in the 20th century are often nothing more than ordered fragmentations- with each fragment carrying it's own cultural load.

Group Exhibition...and my little angel is on the poster!
I havn't got time to write about the exhibition tonight, but was so excited that my little angel cat ....made in memory of my own Sooty who I had to say goodbye to last year, was chosen for the poster....a bit of a tribute to him too.
Briefly, nine artist each had to make a box and nine artefact to go in it...the list of artefacts was the same for all, but it's amazing to see the different styles and stories that go with each. I wrote a short story to go with mine, all about a girl called Florence, Angels and her black cat Mehitabelle.,,I think I am going to write more as it just seems to happen. I've been ill and am going to stay with my son and his wife in Switzerland for a while as a break...taking my medication with me...this will be the third course of antibiotics...all different and am really praying that this one will do the trick. Faith gets tested and I have had some arguments with my Lord when the pain has been severe, but He knows our heart and how weak we are, and I will just keep on trusting that I will not be ill overseas because I havn't seen my son, and daughter in law for 8 years....I might try to put images of the other artefacts on the blog before I go, but if not, will do so whan I come back.
