Framing




I've decided I'm going to start drawing attention to random photos I've taken (both for your pleasure and my inspiration) by sporadically plunking them here and writing a little about what they bring to mind.

This one I called "Rust to frame the sky" back in 2008 when I took it on a day out in Hachiman (north of Sapporo). When I glimpsed at this recently I started thinking about perception and how we often think we see it all, when really our views are encased and delineated, yet evolving. Sometimes some of the rusty bits fall away and we get a better view; other times obstructions get in the way.

At this angle, there's a little poky bit that sticks up and looks like a tiny human on the edge of the world.

Nuno Felting happening.




Here are a couple of the scarves I've been working on. More to come.
