…. trying to come to terms with losing things and people, life cycles and the sad beautiful overwhelm of everything. There’s an underneath / underground and some lightness above. Nearly titled this photosynthesis or phenophases ….

This is a new cloth work completed much earlier this year but I haven’t shown it here or anywhere yet. It was started and stopped - worked on slowly and then hastily. Now finished and waiting … ?

I’d been thinking a lot recently about ambition.

I’d been thinking a lot recently about ambition.
.
a word I’ve been wary of - often leading towards ‘should’ do’s - or I ‘ought’ to’s. Of feeling like I don’t have enough of it - or of the hollow ring of it? A penis word ? - Isabel Allende might say? ( thank you @matildasutton94 for that note.)
.
…. now I’m older I recognise my practice, the work of my life - as closer to a dear friend. A friend I definitely have big heart hopes, wants and deep longings for - but this feels different to ambition?
.
Going along always together - we have to survive and want to thrive. Doing and making the absolute best of it all - with exciting turns, uphill stretches or gentle growing.
More to do with depth of conversation and connection, than dizzying heights I think? And always trying to honour the unknowing bits.
.
Then a few weeks ago I picked up my copy of David Whyte’s ‘Consolations’ from my bedside and read his chapter on AMBITION - so weirdly on cue - so resonant 👍.

David Whyte’s words - excerpt below

‘Ambition is a word that lacks any real ambition. Ambition is frozen desire, the current of a vocational life immobilized and over-concretized to set, unforgiving goals. Ambition abstracts us from the underlying elemental nature of the creative conversation. …….What is worthy of a life's dedication does not want to be known by us in ways that diminish its actual sense of presence. Everything true to itself has its own secret language and an internal intentionality with a secret surprising flow, even to the person who supposedly puts it all in motion. Ambition ultimately withers all secrets in its glare before those secrets have had time to come to life from within and then thwarts the generosity and maturity that ripens the discourse of a lifetime's dedication to a work.”

AND … then last night attended a brilliant zoom class on studio visits by @cerihand that brought these thoughts together. It was such a fresh perspective . Thank you 🙏 @cerihand

The studio is now cleared for exciting building works - and the paper work got chopped up and remade.
