Meeting with Studio Advisor Linda Montano.
As Linda's focus with me is about "Life" & Life-as-Art, she was concerned about my present life as care-giver for my Mother. Mum is 81 & her health has been deteriorating over the past year - just over a month ago she had a very bad fall & got concussion. Since then there has had to be some life-style changes & she needs constant assistance with pretty much everything. So since returning to North Carolina I have adopted the role of care-giver in collaboration with my Dad.
Linda has also had the experience of taking care of an elderly parent. She said she made a lot of work about her Dad during the time she was taking care of him.
She planted seeds in my mind of how to approach incorporating this new area of my life into my work.
As I am working in the context of a journal, this form is very allowing & encompassing.
My journal entries take the form of daily writing, moving, vocalizing, interactions with nature & the environment - both in the studio & out in nature locations. Linda & I discussed ways of utilizing this format - that I already have in place for the project - to include explorations into my new role of Self.
