Permission to Be Still

This work attempts to hold onto moments conveying a smaller, intimate experience with the landscape: the sway of seaweed in the water — somewhat floating but still tethered to the rocks, or the rustle of leaves with the wind coming off the ocean, the mist, the fog, and the rivulets as the tide retreats or advances. The process of drawing is relatively quick comparatively speaking to the process of embroidery in Holding my breath, but these drawings represent intentionally taking time to be in one’s place — to push out the business of our lives and just be still ­— to see what is noticed, that is usually unnoticed. This work is about allowing oneself to be slow.
