Photographic Fables...

I adore these photos by Italian photographer Roberto Kusterle.  His work brings to mind fables and fairy-tales, as well as deep emotions...   These images, in particular, are very stirring and wonderful at the same time!

Happy Saturday!

May Angel Award!

Dearest Anita of  Castles, Crowns and Cottages has named me her May Angel on her blog!  Even more touchingly she wrote this poem - which I am honored to share with you here!  Thank you Anita for letting me be part of the magic you share!!!  

(Underwater Angels by Zena Holloway)

   

Glittered dreams are far from futile
When within them hearts unfold
This my friends is but a story
Of dimensions left untold

Wake up dear ones in the company
Of friends and artists minds untamed
Bringing dreams down from the heavens
In an image beautifully framed

Not with baubles, gems or trinkets
Though her art is fine and rare
Friendship, kindness are her treasures
Up at Castles in the Air.

HOPE...

“Hope is the dream of a soul awake.”

Anne Arden McDonald, and a Request For Fabric!

This is a truly long overdue post, on a wonderful artist! Anne Arden McDonald lives in Brooklyn and works in a variety of media, including photography, sculpture, drawing, and installation work. She is best known for her 'self portrait' series that reflect her interest in installation and performance. Her photos evoke feelings of space, quiet, and mystery... One cannot help but wonder about the spots chosen and her position within... Anne also has created delightfully composed 'watch cases' using her own photos and found objects, showing us pieces of stories within glass. In February she wrote me: "I've been working on making cyanotypes--little dresses made of fabric and lace and leaves and paper, contact printed into cyanotypes". Little dresses that become yet another canvas for her mysterious photos and techniques. I am also in love with her line of Jewelry, organic found pieces of nature cast into rings and earrings.

Now she is working on an installation out on Governor's Island and LOOKING FOR FABRIC THAT'S FALLING APART TO BUILD A GIANT DRESS, WHITE OR CREAM, SOLID OR WITH LIGHT PATTERNS - STAINS ARE FINE - ANY MATERIAL - FANCY OR PLAIN. Here is an opportunity for you to contribute to a wonderful artists work while cleaning out your closets! If you are able to help Anne, please CONTACT HER HERE! Best of Luck Anne, and we look forward to seeing your project in its completion!!!

Remember...
