Maybe it's a maximalist approach within my love for the minimalist... But I mix the old and new, knowing there's a kind of infinity within. The act of curation is the part that brings it all together into a place that stops the infinity from being overwhelming.

Like your found objects, I'm fascinated by art within art within art. In one way or another, it seems to shape much of my own art.

As if that infinity has been incubating forever and is waiting for the many moments to arrive. Like the seasons, like the renewal of the crocus, like the new lease of life given to what has already been lived a thousand times. 💚

What a lovely family portrait! They all look so shining and smart. Most of all they are smiling. I wonder now about their life, they certainly seem content. It is good to hear about your grandma and her very useful ways of recycling. I think back to my father's aunt Eva she was the same and didn't need much to get along and feel right with the world. We still have just the snowdrops here in the Castle gardens we visited yesterday, but it is very cold here still.

I have never lived anywhere that had very obvious seasons so it wasn't until really recent years that I learned to tune in to nature's cues in a similar way. The way that you've described it is beautiful and I love the incubation time that you take for yourself. Thank you for sharing it. Inspiring.

Glad it was useful. I would be lost without the seasons.
