While this may not be a photographic image, necessarily, it is an image and a look at what I’ve been working on. The final images range in size from 30″x30″ to 30″x 42″ and is entirely graphite. They’ve all been enormously fun and very physical. As the surface is covered, the entire body moves. To me they feel like volumes. Volumes that contain movement, space, passages, entrances, exits.

To top off the excitement for the week, one of my images has been chosen for Tacoma Community College’s 9th Annual Local Juried Competition. Yay! More on that later.

As a visual arts and yoga instructor, daily I see the necessity of creative and physical education for the development of human beings. Children with ADD focus and settle down; adults who spend days hunched over computers soften into good postures and smiles. They begin to play and enjoy the many ways to use their brains and bodies, together. Sir Ken Robinson makes a strong argument, if not a plea, for a diverse education that values subjects equally rather than favoring those that will – unlikely as it may be in this world – garner us a job – a low wage job these days. He also mentions the stifling of creativity in business, which I know of first hand, as do others. It is a great privilege to offer my art and yoga skills and knowledge to my students and see them explore the world with it. One of my student’s parents directed me to this presentation, and for that I am very grateful. Please enjoy.
