i've been trying to be the artist i've always been told i was. so ATC's seemed an easy place to start. yeah...right! it is horribly frightening, altho i have no reason at all to be afraid. fear just is. it took my 3 weeks to get the first five done. i spent most of the time sorting and organizing materials. lots of labeled bins of potentially useful stuff.
here's the work so far.
i had a dream that the 15th dalai lama offered the chinese a lotus and a sword. i think it meant someday 'no more mister nice guy'.
this was the second atc. i am fascinated by moas and megalithic art and structure.
Gaia, the earth mother. while i have doubts about the true identity of paleolithic "goddess/venus" figures, the symbology of the earth mother is beyond doubt.
i do wonder if there is only a cultural difference between gaia sculpture and a real woman.
number 4. well i had the picture so i combined it with the song of the ice cream truck.
say no more.
with 5 i tried not to think and just let words define. there is meaning, to me at least, in the elaborate back.
i have committed myself to 10 ATCs, 5 inchies, and 1 art doll (who's your DADA!) before i leave the house again...and avoiding overthinking as much as possible.
