Whatsoever |
This year has also brought so many challenges and so much uncertainty.and yet has brought blessings and new understanding. The postcards on my windowsill in the kitchen seem to sum it all up well • The wonderful painting by Rembrandt helps me to understand more about the waiting and yearning of this year. I have written more about this in a previous blog
• The bright drawing started from the West Pier in Brighton. There have been photos of the family here over the years and it is a good place for remembering and being thankful. The image I have made looks like a stained glass window that could be installed to shine in a church, perhaps with a plaque beneath commemorating a life well-lived. • I identify with the woman Laura Knight's painting - looking out to sea at far horizons, letting the wind blow and planning to launch out to new possibilities. She may not stay standing on the rock for ever! • In Ethiopia, tef is the staple grains and these tef stacks were by the road outside Addis Ababa. I made a trip back to this wonderful country earlier in the year. The Bible verses I chose to go with this image are Psalm 85:10-13 which talk about love, faithfulness and righteousness and preparing the way ahead. • I made this final image years ago - of a view of scaffolding on a new building by the Thames in London. Now it seems to sum up the strange fragility of London in the past months: waiting for the 'building' to start again but meanwhile rather unexpected and uncertain. At either end of these postcards on my windowsill are two others.
