The blue prints in our mind of the physiognomy of the faces we need are so consistent and pervasive.

These pieces have been biscuit fired to 800 degrees, this sets the underglaze and prepares them for a stoneware glaze firing.
At this stage I can adjust and add drawing and think of another layer of glaze.
Historically I haven't been good at processes which involve layering and waiting, too impatient ! but I have been forced to learn the art of deferred gratification.
I have had over a week away from the work, which felt much longer so today I ease myself back into the studio...all other commitments pressed to the side.

I managed a little time in my studio today.
If my mum had been alive I would have sent it to her and she would say ,' that's a nice picture of you' and I would have got her a copy for the fridge.

Sitting and looking, immersing myself in the environment. Normally when I'm here I paint but this time there hasn't been the space for this.
I would recommend anyone to sit and draw and paint nature, there is nothing more wonderful for the soul.
Do not believe that you cannot do it!. Whatever you do will be good enough, it will be yours , your perception and has its own authority.
Your view is valid.
These are oil on canvas, views from my house, or from my house in Vatousa, lesvos, the olive Grove nearby and the kafenion in the centre of the village.
Each one reflects my joy at being here.
Mostly they are 50 cm square.

Some pieces in my studio and my mother. The physiognomy in my unconscious reflects those faces I have known forever...my father was talking about falling in love with my mum when she was 15, he said, ' it's a strange feeling falling in love, I tried to resist but there was nothing I could do about it, I had no idea that she would be the women I would marry and be with for 61 years.'

Within without within without
Sometimes I bleed into everything and everyone around me
When you went
I went to
In the square left
Is noone
To hold
Or know
Or be true to
You and I leaked away
Away away
Who will be the
Custodian of our precious gifts
Our last time
I think I can feel no more
Then I feel
No more

I didn't know until recently that my mum was given a place at art school when she was 15. What kind of art school I don't know.
Her father died of the same condition she died of yesterday and the family had no money for the tuition etc so she worked in 'Boots' instead. Then as a dental nurse, health care assistant for 25 years in the community then in a hospice until she retired, then volunteered.
I have been able to pursue art my whole life.
When my mum told me I said, ' well let's do some together now.' Before her health declined further, here she is making a watercolour from a Greek interior design book this year.
We live the unlived life of our parents.

My mum died today. I have to tell you because you are part of my community. If that's not important to you please give your interest else where. Such experiences of loss are so humbling its as if one sees the earth for the first time or the value in the connection we have with others, wether it is tenuous or robust. Such love I have felt in the last 24hrs. Love that left me weeping and calling over and over a small small person trying to reach her.
We knew it might happen but it happened suddenly. Somethings I noticed. The connections we have are beyond everything, as vast as the galaxy , as majestic as the ocean and as brittle as dust. Small acts of kindness are like hands from heaven. And the gratitude one feels in that moment could fuel a crusade. Kindness
I could ramble on rather than turn and face the empty house of my childhood, with no mother except the mother I must be.
Thank you for reading and being with me in this moment. Let love have us. X

'What ever Arises, Love that', Matt Khan . I have been listening to his loving meditation every night, it's so comforting and a great attitude to creativity also.
These pieces need glaze now before their next firing.

' Come, come whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving...it doesn't matter. Ours is not a common despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again,Come, come.'

Ceramic heads
Porcelain/stoneware and a speckled grey granite which has fired brown and a black textured clay body too. Some with crackle glaze. Some with mazerine underglaze. Roughly 10 x 15 x 0.7 cm

The last looks a bit like Dimitra who tragically passed this year @tzeli_hadjidimitriou do you see a resemblance? By chance of course.
