an equally ambitious blonde Aryan

The Oracle of Stillness: Weaving Coherence in the Chaos

Thanks to blogging buddy Boud of Field and Fen, I attended a fascinating art exhibit last week. Boud lives in New Jersey, but she sure keeps her finger on the pulse of all things artistic, so she let me know about this exhibit here in my city of Edmonton, Alberta! As it happens, Harcourt House Gallery is located right in my own neighbourhood, so I could just walk over and see it!

The Oracle of Stillness: Weaving Coherence in the Chaos by artist Noreen Crone-Findlay features many wonderful mixed-media figurines celebrating sacred geometry and the "timeless echoes of the Feminine Divine" (as stated in the brochure). So you know it was right up my alley! Each one incorporates elements such as weaving, knitting, crochet, fused glass, paintings, ceramics, wire, beadwork, macrame, found objects, etc. to bring them to vibrant life.

Here are four of my favourites showing Noreen Crone-Findlay's artistry --

The artist even created her own decorative looms on which to weave items for the Divine Feminine figures. This one is called the "Rigid Heddle Band Cat Shape Loom and Heddle" --

And this "Star Loom" features hare/rabbit symbology sacred to the Goddess --

A delightful exhibit which nourished my imagination and soul! Time well spent indeed. Thanks for the heads up, Boud!

Thursday Art Date With Rain -- "Fog"

Here's my contribution for this week's

 Thursday Art Date With Rain --

While I appreciate looking at picturesque scenery

as much as the next person, I don't enjoy

doing landscapes in art. It just doesn't capture

my interest or imagination like portraits and figures do.

Consequently, I rarely post any landscapes

of mine since they all look pretty uninspired.

But I actually do like this one from a 

watercolour class last year, so here it is.

Just pretend some of that atmospheric stuff

hanging around/above the shoreline is fog, okay?

I'm not really sure what the hell it's supposed to be.
