My bookshelf is me

I just organized my bookshelf. As I worked, it became important to get it "just right." Certain books belonged next to other books. Some old books were cast out, while others older still, were treasured. As the organization emerged, it became a manifestation of my life - where I have been, philosophies I traversed, who I am becoming. And so the bookshelf is a good introduction to who I am.

Here are some of my art quilts. What I do mostly is procrastinate. For every moment that I create (and love it), I spend many more moments dealing with my fears, reluctances, and conflicting artistic desires. My goal this year is to move beyond my safety - beyond my envelope.
