the chicken or the egg?

worked on more infrastructure stitching on autoquiltography l today. funny how this quilt (and others to follow) came as what i call a flash image because it (they) appeared to me out of the blue and quicker than a wink. for the imagination quilt i’m working on, however, the materials came first. i’m just “transcribing” the autoquiltography l, trying my best to stay out of the way of the image.

today i noticed the flower at my throat:

the flowers that are my hands:

and the anklet socks at my feet:

all unplanned. all totally happenstance.

    I am so enamored of this particular project. I love the way aspects that would appear as very mindful placement “just happened” in the spontaneous sense. Also super-interested in the documentary you mentioned in a comment on Jude’s blog…

    …and it is great how you refer to this project as if it IS yourself…

  3. acey – mindful actions bring “spontaneous” surprises. isn’t that always the way – rather like your february project. hope you’re feeling back to normal real soon.

    jude – just like you to pick up on the embodiment aspect.
