Continued to exploration of ideas toward work for my project-see images
Shoreline
I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order. John Burroughs
I have started work on a collagraph, not sure if it will be successful at this stage, also working on linocut and monoprint images in my sketch books with the intention of emphasising cause and effects in nature created by the sea along the shoreline…these ideas are my attempt to visually articulate my observation of the shore’s natural elements, such as pebbles, seaweed,and driftwood, enabling the viewer a chance to respond and engage in someway toward a new seeing of the sea’s effects on natural elements… which often easily pass us by in the rush of everyday life. Nature is a source of inspiration, sanctuary, and regeneration,when we take time to contemplate.
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature’s way.Aristotle

One has to be alone, under the sky,Before everything falls into place and one finds his or her own place in the midst of it all.We have to have the humility to realize ourselves as part of nature.
Thomas Merton.

The last two images on this blog are part of on going ideas I have for an installation of “hand’s” holding found objects from along the shoreline, (this was disscused on a previous blog relating to my response to the shoreline.) See blog 22 /27th feb.
