In Another World

"In Another World" - online auction event September 6-7 at Artistic Souls Gallery.  Open to the public.  Sign up by clicking on this link and joining the Facebook group.

The world of art has responded rapidly to the changing world of commerce.  A slew of online auction groups have appeared, but, as with many other venues, only a handful are exquisitely, professionally curated and administrated.  Luckily for me, I'm a new member of possibly the most positive, professional and hard-working group out there, Artistic Souls Gallery.

For the show opening September 6, member artists were asked to respond to the theme "In Another World."  Which happens to perfectly match my daily state of being, dear reader!  I decided with this challenge to venture into our inner world - the world of thought and feelings, where so many of us are dwelling non-stop in these times.

I was inspired by an essay written by Crystal Jackson on Medium, titled “In Case No One Told You How Strong You Are, This One’s For you”.  Each of these pieces was birthed from the idea that you, (yes YOU) are both strong and soft, creating your world, growing yourself and responding brilliantly to what trickles in from the outside.  You are magnificent!

And here's a little something that is also in another world... be prepared to have the best day ever.  Your joy pockets and laugh buckets should be full for the day after this one. :)

 Thank you to Fiona Denihan for granting permission to share this brilliant work of  um, well, comedic performance  art!

Jen, the light-andshadow play, and the symmetry-asymmetry-two-things-sort-of-the-same-but-not-the same: yeah, that. That is what keeps drawing in my open eye and soft heart this morning. Awesome!

Awwww Dotty thank you! This collection and its offspring (coming up for a show later in the month) have been delightful to be immersed in.

Here's the blue wild, where
tiny dreamers ride beasts, speak
​ birdsong, hold the moon.
