As long as it is art propelled...

Robyn Gordon's blog is like sitting down in a quiet and beautiful place, taking three deep mindful breaths, releasing tension with the out breath and really looking at what surrounds you. It is manna for my soul. It nourishes, inspires, heals.Robyn is an artist from KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Her work is just beautiful.  She carves wooden totems, poles, doors, and other wondrous pieces which incorporate wire, beads and found objects.  It is obvious that, as she says, her art is meditative work which brings her a great sense of peace.  She describes her blog as a place where I gather things that inspire me. It's a bit like a glorified notebook where I store information so that i don't forget it. Favourite artists and artwork, books, quotations, internet links, ideas, themes...you name it, as long as it is art propelled.As a chronic journaller and keeper of quotes, I love posts like this.  I love the beautiful photographs she posts of her beloved home.  And on this pinterest page she quotes John O'Donahue whose writing seems to be calling out for my repeated attention! She reminds artists of ten things to be thankful for!  It was in one of her posts that I first read about Stillness for Jugglers. Look at the beautiful images she collated to go with it!She brings so many wonderful artists to my awareness! Like Anna Gillespie who created the figure Tasting the Rain. Or Sophie Munns whose seed  inspired art is magic.Robyn's pinterest site is unbelievable. I have to be very careful when I go there.....
