Vertical Weaving using Recycled Luum Textiles
and Up-cycled Mylar balloons
Faceside/Backside
Our outward and inward expression is who we really are.
Our consciousness is imprinted on our very state of being.
Our actions, whether responding thoughtfully or reacting expressively,
are all reflections of our inner state of being.
Our true nature. What’s important is that we learn from it.
This happy, colorful weaving, made up of many layers of recycled
Luum fabric that we had cut for weaving
on the vertical loom a couple of years ago,
is now taking shape in the studio, with the help of
an assistant. It’s happily growing each week,
like all of the weavings in the studio.
What I find most wonderful about it, is that the back
is as beautiful as the front.
That each side shows a different side of its being.
One very expressive and one very orderly.
Like ourselves from time to time.
The expressive gives way to telling stories;
the thoughtful gives way to
intrapersonal/interpersonal growth.
Whether we feel organized or disorganized,
lethargic or energetic,
the energy we put or don’t put into our lives is our reflection.
And it’s all good…
The Vedic Meditation practice that I teach allows for all sides
of us to be reflective. To tap into and indulge
that creative intelligence
that lies within the faceside and backside
and merges with the
collective consciousness of the world,
through who we really are.
We simply need to get out of our own way and take action.
Make, weave, explore, write, perform, cook,
share, paint, teach, print,
simply be human.
Taking action is the key. Inside / Outside / Faceside / Backside
It all is part of the story. Your story.
