Dress up

My mind is mulling over some new ideas and while it does that I am left to occupy myself.

Like waiting for a cake to bake or a mold to set.

So I played dress up...it is not a new idea, I do it more often then I would like to admit.

I guess even though I am a physically grown woman, I am still a little girl at heart.

Yesterdays theme: REVOLUTION

I told hubby after taking this image that I felt like I was ready to start a fire...

or make some noise.

"Liberated Women, build up socialism" 1926

such a pretty image, so powerful.

If I had seen this posted somewhere in my town,

I would have taken my own copy.

I am such a printmaking geek.

"Women workers take up your rifle!" 1917

My revolution was short lived...because

I saw this image of Frida and it made me smile

We all know revolutionaries don't smile.

Dream...

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.

Over the last few months I have been creating images for this show, with one theme in mind. This focus has allowed me to refine my ideas and vision for this exhibition.

Ever since I was a child, I have had a combination of awakened dreams and thinly veiled sleep. For this show I have created a theme based on this idea. I found that these images when viewed together create a starting point for dream time remembrances. My hope is that when viewing these works you are drawn back to that sensation; that moment of subconscious awareness and journey.
I will have 6 images in the gallery and two in the studio space. All relate to one another.
I hope you are able to make the show and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these images.
