Chasing Butterflies
RANDOM STORIES FROM THE HEART
NOTES: Adjust images and cyanotype style work to create a butterfly animation instead. Too much movement going on, a little butterfly flying out an opening window is simpler and more interesting here. Image needs to properly clipped and fit to purpose but the look and feel is much nicer and brings in reference to the cyanotypes. Not sure I can make this work at this late stage but can remember it for later and a different home page layout. I don't mind the chasing butterflies section to be more 'storybook' as a point of interest and it was moving too much. Butterflies do need to be included but I don't mind them being subtle and part of the storytelling process.
Hawkesbury River wild clay.
Found objects. Local materials.
In love with the darkness, she blindly slipped into the emotional cracks and crevices of her unexamined life. It was, of course, much harder to pull herself out and (re)make a fragile beauty from the crumbling ruins left behind.
Welcome to the Third Act.
The Act when I know who I am.
Where I choose to trust myself.
Follow the feelings to weave
a skeleton from imagination …
Journey into depths of my psyche
Conversations with the River
Flesh it out with a sense of self ...
Clothe it in dreams and desires ...
Be led by instinct ...
Check in and examine the emotions ...
Songs of the River
Unframed
Recheck.
Layer upon Layer upon Layer.
Keeping me anchored to reality.
