Yesterday I began, the painting aspect, of a new series. Although I'm not quite ready to unveil them I will offer this peek. These little iconic drawings sprung from the River Scrolls. The new Polaroid app is wicked fun to play with! It brings me back to simpler days. Which of course is an illusion! But the dichotomy of the iPhone and the Polaroid excites and fascinates me, and makes for some great dreamy images.

Yesterday I also heard this wonderful quote:

From Lady Chatterley’s Lover 1928
(DH Lawrence talking about our feelings of not being connected about the disconnection of our culture)

"Man has little needs and deeper needs.
We fall into the mistake of living from our little needs
til we have almost lost our deeper needs in a sort of madness.
Let us prepare now for the death of our present little life and
reemergence in a bigger life in touch with the moving cosmos.

We must get back into relation.

We are perishing for lack of fulfillment of our greater needs.
We are cut off from the great sources of inward nourishment and renewal. Sources which flow eternally in the universe."





Seems as true today. Which I guess speaks to the shelf life of great art.
