peace ties

continuing to create ties with messages of peace and justice;
the universe keeps sending people my way who love these.
so these are part of the third intensive batch made in the studio
since January...

can't wait for summer break so i can pick up the threads of
my creative path and knit them together,
in long blocks of time,
again.

"Flowers grow out of dark moments." -Corita Kent




"You must be the change you want to see in the world." -Mahatma Gandhi





"...my country is the whole world." -Virginia Woolf

drawing resistance

some of my thirteen pieces
in the show:

sunday in the park

thinking ourselves
alone,
pilgrims appeared,
measuring the earth
with their bodies


divas scoffed


at the senseless bowing


others reached out


threw confetti


tried to
stop them
at the block party


undeterred,
the supplicants
continued


we watched
them go


and headed
back to the
party girls.


dedicated to birthday party girl Patsy/Payutsy/Pat C/Daley, my friend who I have known for almost my whole life (since FOUR YEARS OLD) whose birthday is today. Happy Birthday Patricia June Daley Noll!
