Week #44 of Time Project

By the entrance to my part-time day job there is a wonderful stretch of meadow flowers.  The ground slopes steeply so that the company built a kind of bridge from the building to the parking lot.  Looking down on these flowers and grasses always slows my steps as I leave.  You can also hear birds.  It's an unexpected pleasure.  Kay Dolezal

Week #43 haiga for Time Project

This could be viewed as a retreat from the world's problems to my garden.  That would probably be right.  It does seem as if things are going to hell in a handbasket. 
I guess a spider isn't exactly a peaceful symbol, but there she was sitting pretty, right in the middle of her magnificent web.

Week #42 of Time Project

I don't have much to add to this piece, which is partly a poster in my mind.  I'm sure I'm not alone in finding the news photos hard to look at.  I certainly don't mean that we should not see them or not know what is going on with the oil spill.  I just mean that the implications are so discouraging and complicated that the work ahead seems an overwhelming task.  Kay Dolezal

Week #41 (I think) Time Project piece

Pardon me for using a picture of myself  but it did seem to go with the sentiment expressed - which definitely feels like an effect of time.  The photoshop layers are of a moire fabric remnant from my stash and a small piece of flannel.  The time aspect comes in there too, as I think I inherited a love of fabric and clothes from my maternal grandmother.  I'm told she was a seamstress and loved to sew more than anything.  I like to think of that love of cloth and clothing having passed through time (and my mother) to me.  Kay Dolezal
