‘Homing In’ . . . is the beginning of a new series of images, loosely titled, Spring Studio Still Life. Looking at Home, seems a good place to begin.

Perhaps especially as I’ve been living out of two suitcases for more than two years. I am grateful for the small studio. A lovely spot to make daily work. To allow my imagination to roam free. To dance with the Spirit of this place. And make new work inspired by this land, this time, this Spirit. My heart is happy.

The notion of ‘homing’ has been tickling my consciousness since yesterday.

My wandering thoughts took me to considering, what creates a space for homing to take place? Containers came to mind. That a home is a container first. Home provides the stage for a wide array of containers, in every imaginable shape, size, and color.

Over this lifetime I’ve created, and lived amidst, an ongoing flow of containers. Some short lived, while others have, and always will be, touchstones. Always the joy of choosing.

Today, it is the open-air walls, and translucent views that sing softly to my heart…
