Love your site! Just ran across it while googling angel wing art and spent 30 min clicking through rather than working on my essay due tomorrow (today, as it is now 2:05 am)

Comment on Joseph Cornell at SFMOMA by lori roberts

I recently spent 2 hours trying to absorb as much beauty as possible from Joseph Cornell’s boxes (in particular The Crystal Cage) at the Vancouver Art Gallery as part of the Surrealist Exhibit. Your Artful Journey has pieced together for me my feelings and layered experiences of feeling I had with his works at the museum. Having to write a response from an early childhood educator’s point of view (how we view childhood and the importance of children) with only my notes and memories of what I saw was going to be near impossible, until I found your site. I thank you for having seen his beauty first and giving me the images I need to “re-see” to connect my words and dreams. So much appreciation, Lori Roberts, degree student Capilano University ECE Program

Comment on An Altered Book :: The Gift by Anna

Anna — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 18:05:47 +0000

I was seeing how some women are making art journals using the altered books idea and thought I would type in Gesso so see if I could learn more about the process and if they actually used the gesso as the glue to adhere 3-4 pages together to have a substantial piece to paint and create on. This altered book of yours is leaving me speechless and an ache in my heart for you. There is something to be said about mothers, mothering. There is no one in my life that will ever love me or know me as my mother. In watching my children grow into adults and learning to mother in new ways I find I am learning about the woman she is and the woman I am…... its profound.

Comment on I’m Not a Hoarder! I’m an Artist! by paula

thanks for an extremely well written essay! as an artist that discovered photoshop years ago, i have been hoarding images, and have a very seriously stocked library. thank goodness they don’t take much space. i can totally relate to finding “uses” for the strangest things… art inspiration lurks around every corner. evolving from my oil on canvas career, i knew i HAD to make grand collages…a spiritual mandate! so from jealously guarding and toting with me, my papers, seedlings of beads, stamps etc, and a ton of supplies my craft biz sister accumulated too, i eventually did turn into very impressive large scale work, it only took me ten years of wanderings, movings, etc, to FINALLY set up a huge and very complete studio, (of course,i had to go buy all the shelves and racks and tables,MORE massive amounts of all the good stuff, gesso’s, inks etc. just to get STARTED. That alone took another year. & then… Viola! Fulfillment! it ALL came together, validating the YEARS of longing, yearning, dreaming that only “obsessed” artists understand. art supplies before cute shoes! thanks for allowing me to hoard in a healthy way, with your great images too♥.

Have to admit, I also can’t resist watching the shows on hoarding. You really feel for these people, especially those who know they have a serious problem but are completely incapable of finding a way out. It makes you wonder about our relationship with things, the meanings we attribute to them and the fine lines we draw between having “enough” and “too much”.
