On Monday, after a bit of rambling (lol), I told you about the thought process behind the learning tool for the Black Women's Collective.

Earlier this year, Freedom School (an initiative of Black Lives Matter), commissioned me to make learning tools for their school again.

I don't know whether I want to talk about "process" here, or PROCESS. lol By which I mean, the process by which I made this piece, or the processing I've been doing while making it.

As I said in my last post (and a couple of other posts, I think);  I've had some rather rebellious rumblings in the pot along the line of "what will you do with all of these 'really cool' fabrics and papers you're making? Are these just for the fun of it? If so, perhaps you should move on to more useful things!"

It's been a bit of a question for quite some time really.

Ever since I started experimenting with watercolour on fabric and paper (henceforward "fibers"), and kept producing these "Oh cool!" and "Oh, that's really beautiful!" fibers; but immediately upon the heels of doing so, I wondered "are these art in themselves, or do I need to incorporate them into art".

In the aftermath of my journey home; I should be busy in my studio.

Lord knows I have deadlines fast approaching for commissions, I would like to actually SHOW something this year (can you believe I`ve missed TWO show seasons!?) and many of the deadlines for show season have already passed, so I really should finish something already!

But my mind has been so busy: thinking through feelings, mapping, making connections, questioning, positing answers; busy, busy, busy! It has left no time, and no feeling for art.

A week ago Sunday, BSP and I got into our casual clothes; packed the car with rubber boots, warm socks, and a couple of small pieces of my art, and after a stop for coffee and bagels, told Leslie (our GPS lady), that we wanted to drive North to Parry Sound.  A couple of hours later, we crossed the bridge into Wasauksing First Nation.

One of my favourite things about my studio, is something that I don't get to enjoy very often.
