Not too much has been happening on the Rekoj front this week, other than a CRAZY amount of inspiration coming in the form of quilting of all things... More on that soon I'm sure.
I wanted to comment and just put it out there how much I wholeheartedly agree with Christine's post from yesterday. So many times I have tried to articulate these very thoughts and always felt like I fell short. Her words and thoughts on the subject of love, life and purpose are so eloquent and beautiful and sparking true to me that I want all of my friends, family and soulmates to click on the link and read the post.
I could just quote or paraphrase, but that doesn't feel right. Go - read from the Swirlygirl.

About Me
- Sara
- Seattle, Washington, United States
- A nomadic childhood made my sense of "home" into a concept rather than a place. I create art that continually builds and restructures these concepts. Landscapes real and imaged tucked within a child-like house shape revel in a love of pattern and line and color that I had first picked up as a child in Turkey. Freely creating a huge canvas of color-play, only to tear it into strips to sew with was hugely liberating. I had returned to creating purely for the joy of making something beautiful, but never forgetting a heavy dose of yearning towards the apex of an unknown destination. My work has been shown in Seattle galleries and internationally in Ireland, Finland and Monaco. I've been an awardee of the Vermont Studio Center Artist Fellowship and a printmaking residency in Co. Donegal, Ireland. As well as being a working painter, I also consult as a curator for real estate development in the Seattle area, and serve on the Board of Directors of Seattle's Center on Contemporary Art.
