Well my trees are 'dressed' in Wakefield. My first public art installation. It's very simple but I like it. And bottom line, given all the other things that have been going on, I'm pleased that I didn't bail.
Process wise I followed true to form. Had lots of idea's, narrowed it down to a basic concept and then went about 'listening' for potential materials that would fit/work with it. Sometime the materials themselves led the way...as in the robin's nests...and the picture frames.
Emergence works for me but I don't think it necessarily was helpful to the larger process. What to write for the bio piece that had to be in weeks ago? What to have on my process story board when the last bit of it is still in process?
Ironically the piece is about community, a reflection on what community means for me - when I feel a part of it and when I don't. Lots of lessons here, and metaphors for my own way of being in this world. The main one continues to be about finding that balance between independence and community. Maybe this is the year that I find a way to live that comfortably.

About Me
- Linda V.
- As a coach and a facilitator most of my work with people and organizations is around getting clear about where you are going and figuring out how you influence moving there. My belief is that learning about yourself in relationship with others is a big part of how you discover choice points to influence your outcomes. What I want to learn more about is how the use of art (metaphor, collage, improv, painting, crayons etc) can be a way to explore these relationships, often opening up insights to ourselves and our current choices. This is my first experience with blogging. Let's see if it takes!
