Quote

This quote is such a truth filled sentence despite its harsh reality. Sometimes poems alone can reach into a new place. I appreciated Richard Blanco reading "One Today" at the Inauguration.

"It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die every day for lack of what is found there."
William Carlos Williams

My marks on the pages of my sketchbook/journal help me to become more aware of my surroundings; a visual diary and sequential record of days of my life. Sometimes I'm working from my car, an "onsite studio". Almost always these drawings are "drawn on location".

My knitting and my weaving are other ways for me to explore color and texture; to use my hands to create and build up. Again the choices are a sequential record. The inches, feet and yards of cloth become a "journal", similar to the way pages eventually make up a book. I prefer to weave the design as I go along rather than to have it all figured out ahead of time.
