Dreamy April...
dreams...
so many dreams..
I found I was journaling about my dreams..
though I journaled about other things too... I
kept going back to my nightly dreams
...
spiders, people..
situations...
and snakes..
while I am not crazy about either of those ..
spiders or snakes..
they represent
creativity and death and rebirth
respectively...
to me anyway...
and those are things that cannot be ignored..
I tried to capture what it feels like to wake upon
dreaming...
you all know that feeling...
wanting to remember the dream and all the details
before it fades into the mist
as we move across the bridge of
the unconscious to the land of waking reality..
For years I kept a dream journal
and interpreted my dreams
the symbols...
and the situations...
and now I have a pretty good idea
about the story they tell...
revealing the direction I am taking and
allowing me to change course
if I want to...
and forewarning me of things
to come...
relationships that will change...
I started this month by writing directly
on the unprimed page...
painting over the words..
transferring images...
the pensive woman is the only transfer remaining..
and then collaging and decollaging the page..
ingredients: Art Graf pencil, acrylic paint, antique paper ephemera, book pages, tissue paper, wrapping papers, transfers with gel medium, walnut ink,
paint, collage, rip tear..
destruction and creation..
the goddess Chaos
at work...
I am off for a little holiday to the beaches south of us
and will take my camera with me..
to share the wonders of sand and shells
with you dear reader..
ciao, ciao..
