"There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic. "

Anais Nin




black, white, lace, metal...just a plant picked in the yard, covered with white gesso and put on the cardboard, like a stamp...

a bit like these exvoto you see under some statues like St Sarah...A prayer offered by women to....

the feminine symbol

and the words in chinese:
WOMAN
LAMP
RICE
SOUL

Yin and yang... I took the same plant, put back gesso on it and stamp the second cardboard...used the same symbols...blood and red...and some lace to soften life.




"Can you give birth and still let go?
Can you nourish others and continue to take care of yourself?
Can you show others the way without losing your own ?
Can you provide safety yet dare to risk the unknown?
Can you calm the fears of children while embracing your own?
Everything you touch changes
You change everything you touch...
The process is creation"


from The Tao for Women
