QUIET CONVERSATIONS​

​

February 2025

​

Some of my favorite conversations have been with other artists. Seemingly, there's an unspoken set of values among those prioritizing creativity that quick-starts a connection.  I often feel seen, inspired, and engaged in these exchanges.  Hearing about another artist's process and materials, invites me to think about other ways of doing and being. Their thoughts often validate the uniqueness and the sameness of our experiences on the artist's path.  

 

Through the years of conversing with other artists, I began imagining a conversation through our various materials rather than our spoken words. This concept has been circling my brain for fifteen plus years. Most recently, I shared an experience in Venice, Italy with a small group of artists from around the world. We had a finite time to get to know each other and in one of our group meetings, I shared my vision. There was immediate excitement. It occurred to me and all of us that this might be the perfect time to experiment with this idea.

​

Now back in our respective countries, zooming online to iron out the details of communicating with paint, fiber, different time zones, etc., we are moving forward. I am so grateful for everyone’s willingness and enthusiasm to continue our conversations in this new way.
