Week #22

Each week seems to speed by faster than the one before.  This week I used an image I had from some point in my work - I'm not sure when.  The rick rack represents my mother and grand mother who both used it in their sewing.  As the haiku states I am going back like an archeologist into layers of objects and memories accumulated during a long lifetime.  I love seeing on television the archeologists bent over and using brushes to free objects from the earth.  There's something very devotional about that activity.

Week #21 of Time Project

This piece is not a haiku as I bent/broke my own rules and have spent my time this week developing a poster.  The events in Haiti have swept haiku elements from my mind.  I had also been thinking of posters in relation to the Violence Transformed 2010 show and these came together with an image I had drawn on fabric maybe fifteen years ago or more.  She is photoshopped along with a background of a beadwork piece I had done based on this same image in 2005.  So this is the third time I've worked with this image and I pray it will be a third time charm for Haiti.  Kay Dolezal

Piece for Week #20

This week I found myself feeling rather confined by the cold weather.  But with my trusty cell phone camera I did take some shots around the house.  And I layered an image taken previously.  Somehow I'm learning more about layering in Photoshop.  That seems fitting in that layers and time seem to have a relationship I find myself exploring in the Time Project - and also in my other work. 
At any rate this was inspired by a light of a gorgeous Saturday morning that greeted me when I woke up.  Kay Dolezal

Piece for Week #19

                   Had a wonderful walk last Sunday at the DeCordova Museum on a nice warm day.  Took some cell phone photos and two of them together here.  Kay Dolezal
