In March the Flying Carpet zoomed over crop circles
and lakes
and rivers
and landed in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Magnolia petals and winter debris covered the Flying Carpet
at the JC Raulston Arboretum

Spring had sprung!!!!!!
Flying Carpet rolled out red
for Traces: Mapping the Journey in Textiles,
an invitational show of the work of twelve artists at the Gregg Museum:
http://www.ncsu.edu/gregg/exhibitions/traces/index.html
I showed two pieces:
Summer Fall Winter Spring
a year-long journal of 2008
and Blaze of Glory
a travel journal of trips to Japan and Korea in 2007
Barbara Lee Smith, the show’s curator,
had a concurrent show of her work,
Pull of the Moon.
In con junction with the show,
the museum sponsored a three day symposium
with lectures, panels, tours, events and presentations.
The air was filled with pigment, dance and music
at the Holi Festival,
a joyous Hindu Spring Festival
celebrated by many riotous Indian students and other enthusiasts.
and the carpet was totally covered
Flying Carpet got its art & architecture fix
at the NC Museum of Art
www.ncartmuseum.org/
Its denim local artisan fix
at Raleigh Denim
http://www.raleighworkshop.com/index.php?/gallery/workshop/
and its food fix at Irregardless.
The carpet is now home... rolled up and dozing...
preparing for next month’s adventure...
Special thanks to my co-pilot Sialia
