Week #18 Time Project

The end of 2009 is upon us.  It's been eventful.  Being part of the Time Project has been one of the positive events for me.  It has made me much more aware of time in its different aspects.  As I said in last weeks blog the aspect I'm feeling currently is how fast is moving.  This image is a combination of cell phone shots of a very satifactory amaryllis I bought for the holiday season.  Best wishes for all the New Year to all who read this.  Kay Dolezal

Week #17

I can't believe another Monday has rolled around.  This is another piece from my walks, between snow storms.  It seemed somehow to make me think about global warming and consciousness of the planet and how we've treated it.

Week #16 of Time Project - Indigo Angels

The doll is one I made and dyed with indigo about fifteen years ago, maybe more.  The background pattern is also dyed with indigo and is actually all blue, but I modified the color with Photoshop.  As usual I was trying to make use of material I produced in the past.  The haiku is current and related to the holdays which are all around us.  I was reacting somewhat to the degree of focus on holiday buying which has risen to new heights this year - at least in the media.  Kay Dolezal

Time Project Week #15 - A different direction

This week I have shifted gears.  This piece is from a drawing I did in 1991 when I was commuting to Worcester and finding myself often behind trucks.  I found myself fascinated by the pattern of their back ends and made some sketches -not while driving.  With this piece I printed it on fabric and embroidered it.  I like going back and forth from the computer to hand work and I hope that I can do more of this.  This may be a work still in progress as I may do more embroidery on it.  At this point it is an exploration I'm excited about.  Kay Dolezal 

Time Project Week #14

This week instead of writing a haiku I took a holiday and have used an e.e. cummings poem which I found and loved.  I love its expression of loneliness and it's experimental nature.  For me it addresses the absence that is always part of holidays - the absence and sadness that are there for most of us along with the celebration.
