Time does fly! It has been a long time since I wrote Good Morning Sunshine. Why? Moving to Rhode Island, Settling in, and finally getting a small bit of the studio with me, gathering artwork, and supplies. I am not moved out of the old house. The new house is very nice! I think there is a Quince tree in the yard. I do not know anything about Quince.
New House.
I am moving forward with the writing of a manual for Shibui Found Image Art. That is going well. The writing has direction now, due to a writing coach/editor. Sometimes research is slow.
The 28th of this month was the second anniversary of Thomas Nunes, death. I am doing ok! I am moving forward. It really is poof when someone dies, and life certainly changes.
I live in Southern Maine. I am the owner of Anisette Studios. My website is https://www.anisettestudios.com/ Here you can view and purchase Shibui, sign up for my newsletters, blog, and read articles about Shibui Found Image Art. Patrons get great deals several times a year and special items at times. My site makes it easy to contact me. My primary art form is Shibui Found Image Art. Shibui begins with action art and stems from the imagination. It is like seeing something in the clouds or solving a puzzle. Its creative process has its own rules and requires what I call reverse engineering due to a lack of an understructure and purely out of the imagination. In addition to those who patron me, my target groups are those who use art therapy. I will soon be teaching live. Contact me if you would like to learn live. I use Zoom. I request that although my art, other images, and what I write is now published by me here on WordPress; I do ask you do not to use my artwork, poetry, or the information about Shibui Found Image Art without my permission. I am quite available to make such requests. I wish to share the following: The existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir wrote a book called The Ethics of Ambiguity. In it, she lays out a guiding ethic in response to the philosophy of existentialism. It might be somewhat familiar to you already. She writes, “To will oneself free is also to will others free. This will is not an abstract formula. It points out to each person concrete action to be achieved.”
Best wishes to all! Have good times and keep safe! Pejj
