I love this fabric from Art Gallery Fabrics in Miami FL. It is bohemian and art deco and so very expressive. My observant husband tells me that if my choice was something simple/plain or highly decorated/complex that I go for the latter most of the time. And you know, he is right on the money. Good that he knows me. I remain fascinated by how what we wear and what objects we own are an expressive language all their own that tell the tale of who we are and at what point we are in life.

Being Heard

This art work is that of artist Shelly Klein from KStudio   and is on display through June 2011 at Quirk Studio in Richmond, VA.
I can't help but notice that we humans are so dependent on being heard. We simply do not exist without the feedback of others. Art through the ages communicates our emotions, our hopes, aspirations and accomplishments. It tells the Story of Us. We have so much to express and absolutely need others to hear us. The flip side is that we have to cultivate extraordinary listening abilities so we know what is being shared. And isn't listening done by so much more than our ears? The art of the witness is practiced many ways. Ahhhhh soooo.
