. recorders for eyes .

recording memories 

and eavesdropping on dreams

somewhere in the back of my mind

her eyes are recorders

{layered painting collage on paper}

somewhere in the back of someone else's dreams ..

sounds of movements

 

recording dreams

recording dreams

with imaginary devices

and listening to the sounds

of the invisible 

static 

mixed media layered collage painting

prints are available in the shop)

shifting things around 

and listening to Can

in the background

of the studio this morning 

 

the sky . one and two .

The other day .. working in the studio . painting the walls
with powder paint and gesso . organizing boxes . the light is just right
in the mornings . a little haze of shade from the half windows and the
pepper trees . paper walls with masking tape from an installation
a few years back .

The parallel worlds we are living in and have been .. are hovering over
us like . reminders of the fog and somewhere in the in between .

mixed media on paper . The sky one and two .

(~sounds from the back of my mind in the back of the studio)

all mine .

a shadow , a ghost or a fragment of a lost sparkle

.. Perhaps a little bit of all of the above .

 It's not such a bad thing really .
It's actually quiet and comforting . I feel a bit like I'm floating
or drifting through no time and all time at the same time .
As if I can easily glide through spaces without really
being noticed . It's an inbetween-ness but everywhere
at the same time . I've also been reading and talking a lot about
signs , symbols and simply being aware of the quiet things that surround
us . The things that often are overlooked .

While organizing shelves and my new work/creative corner space ..
I pulled out three books .. off of the tall stack of books and magazines
that are on the floor next to my rust colored mohair sofa .

Songs they never play on the radio ,
The life and lies of an icon
and
The end .
Three bios about Nico .
{Which I will re read and revisit}

{ polaroid of Nico on the floor }

.. Side note ..
I've been spring cleaning a few other things like my website and
inspiration pages ..
http://www.noellemaline.com/
I'll show you more of the others later .


Listening to living room sounds in the background of the room ..


{ Nico 1967 }

'Perfect your gentle name ,
perfect your fragile life
bees , shadows , fire , snow ,
silence and foam combining
with steel and wire and
pollen to make up your firm
and delicate being .'

~Pablo Neruda
{from Tina Modotti's epitaph}

in the same tall pile ..
