April Flying Carpet

Cruising past the Buena Vista Druid installation 

and the Holy Fire Hebraic Center, 

the Flying carpet got its Wabi-Sabi up the wazoo 

at the American Interlock Fire Engine Graveyard...

Past the Corner of This and That...

 We sailed past the Brokeback Dude Ranch
and the Flagellation Station
with its Penitente Dominatrix black and blue plate special...

and followed the zooming swallows Chama River...

Hoodoos around the corner
we arrived in Ghost Ranch...

 

 “In the rooms the women come and go
talking of” Georgia O’Keefe...

We fed our quarters
into the yellow-headed blackbird jukebox
and picnicked in the bee-laden orchard...

The carpet shook off it’s covering of shards and jewels
and ascended
flying homeward...

Thanks to co-pilots Sialia and Zack
seen here hunkering down
and extolling the wonders of anthill rocks

March Flying Carpet

and lakes

and rivers
 

and landed in Raleigh, North Carolina.

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
