To remind me of the constant cycle of things, that all things pass, that energy & life keep moving. I chose to work with 12s to represent the months in a year, an easy cycle to visualise. 12 single leaves, 12 stones, 12 triple leaves. Elder & stone. My feet. The bare earth below a favourite yew. Leaves blew away within minutes, further enforcing the reminder of impermanence.

I make circles to remind myself that I am whole, to bring all the scattered aspects of myself together as one healthy, functional, interesting Self. The opposite of dissociating, the counterbalance to disconnectedness. I make a lot of circles, and I make them from the natural world which heals me.

Made these for a mix of the Top Nine thing and the Art vs Artist thing. I have spent this winter exhausted and depressed, and it was a hard year. So it felt really good to look back and see how full & bright & full of nature & art the year actually was too. I made So Much stuff. Loads of new things. And moved my boys & myself across the country too. This was some nice positive reflection, and I needed it. #artist #artmatters #artists #nature #illustration #altars #landart #oracledeck #art

Two things from this week. A large stone #compass made by the sea, and the start of a #pyrography project: a box for one of my #tarot decks. (Forgot alt text the first time I posted)

Monuments are overwhelming, huge, hard to break, violently jammed into the earth. They reinforce, reproduce, extend power. Monuments violently silence stories people tell about themselves, they suppress every story but their own. The stories told by monuments end in morals. They serve power, they work to control. Only the powerful can call monuments into being.

Altars are human scale creations, spontaneously precipitated out of a shared desire to tell a shared story. Created both together and individually, this work coalesces socially to express something of the community. Altars are temporary, shifting, laid down upon the earth gently. They quietly amplify the stories people tell about themselves, they celebrate every story woven into them. The stories told by altars don’t end in morals. They don’t end at all, they’re liberating. Anyone can call altars into being.

From the #woods yesterday, where I connect to what I love the most. Made this #altar out of love for the earth, in quiet meditative connection to her. Made of weaving fallen branches into 2 circles, a bit of moss, and 4 oak leaves marking the directions like a compass. 💚

"For me, altars make everything right with the world. Order and harmony is restored. My heart feels lighter and my mind can focus."

We should celebrate love in its many forms every day ❤️🖤❤️

Happy Love Day my friends!

I was told by a mentor once that we created #altars whenever we grouped things we love together. Maybe they’re a #shrine though, I don’t. A shrine seems passive. An #altar feels like it’s got energy you can interact with. Here’s my kitchen #windowsill, featuring a #plant, #crystals, a #cauldron, a very old #bell, a singing bowl, and a stuffed #rabbit with “omg” embroidered on its chest - wearing wellies. 💚

I like to take photos of the #altars I make in the #woods - I revisit them for inspiration, to share, and to remind me in the dark winter days that the green days do come back, I won’t always be cold.

These #mandala designs are sometimes spiritual, sometimes magic, sometimes meditation, sometimes art. Always filled with love and left behind as impermanent designs.

Oh Mastadon. I actually *like* it here. I’d forgotten that was possible.

I like all of your #nature photos, your special interests, your pleasant human vibes.

Here are some for you. I make these #altars or #mandalas all the time. Sometimes they have a #magic intent, usually though, they are to simply thank #mothernature and give her something #impermanent and beautiful back.

Always with what I find, never moved very far, and always with intent and love. See #alttext for details
