Illuminara

I spent the day in a trance, drawing babies and angels. I filmed it and put this together. The world seems so strange at times, but let’s just love the new babies being born (they see more than we do) and it will all come out right.

At times, drawing with thread provides for me a deep meditative way of creating. This is an angel, part of a sewn triptych. This work is unfinished, as I’d like to alter the found material I used a bit more. This angel is serious, unwavering. You would not pray to have guidance from an angel [...]

“Some nights are fairy nights
Before you go to bed
You hear their darling music
go chiming in your head;
You look into the garden,
and through the misty grey

They feel as spiritually radiant as my idea of angels. She said, “Those are the babies.” I was surprised [...]

This is an angel I drew with thread.
I think there is an angel who holds a big, red book. The Book of Love. Inside the book is a list of every kind thought, word and action ever done. Love is the energy of abundant life, ever growing. I think for me, in learning about love, [...]

Perhaps there is an angel for each emotion we feel. And an angel for delivering us into the mercy of release from emotions we no longer need in any given situation. Some emotions raise our consciousness and help us to experience anything we aspire to in the way of exalted joy, other emotions are necessary [...]

Visualizing mercy for Haiti.

In winter, I long for snow. As Christmas approaches, I wish wish for thousands of snow fractals to float down, down, down. It always seems silent when snow is falling, as if the world were nothing more than a wish being whispered into the air. Snow, sloping drifts against the houses, everything mounded with smooth, [...]
