<span style="color: #351c75;">So in the years of my silence here, I have been making and selling my art. Here are a few of the things I've done in the past year.<br /></span></h2>

<span style="color: #351c75;">1. I was in another show at Three Stones Gallery in Concord:</span></h2>

<br />This is made of gold-leafed textured glass that I cut into flame-like shapes and attached to panels of wedi board. The wedi board panels were then glued to the walls and I grouted the mosaic. It was a big job!</h2>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: large;">I have a friend who has
always been unusually sensitive to color. We once went to a museum show
that was vibrantly col<o:p></o:p></span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">orful. Upon entering the gallery, my friend looked
briefly euphoric and disoriented; she then inhaled raggedly and quickly turned
around to exit the gallery. Outside, she told me that sometimes color
slams her psyche – it wasn’t a bad thing, but it could literally take her
breath away. Over the course of the next 45 minutes, we went in and out
of the show so that she could titrate the experience of what seemed to be a
mixture of ecstasy and excess. She loved the show. The colors </span><i style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: x-large;">were
</i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">amazing. She simply needed to absorb them a little more slowly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: large;">At the time, I was
baffled by this experience – I’ve certainly never forgotten it. Her
experience was clearly genuine. But it was so alien to my own
relationship with color that I could not fathom what it must be like to “see”
color in that way, to live in a world where color was so much a part of one’s
physical experience.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: large;">Many years later, the
stable reality upon which I had built my professional life and identity
crumbled. In addition to the obliteration of my work life, I was
physically sick and emotionally battered. Most profoundly, this all
became manifest in the loss of my inner voice. Only when my voice went silent
did I realize that I had always maintained a running narrative that buoyed me
in life. This narrative wasn’t particularly plot driven. In fact, it
was more a habit I had developed in childhood to make a story out of moments
that struck me throughout the day. So, for example, the sun
filtering through leaves on a spring day could transport me to a “story” of
happiness that gathered together childhood fragments into a distilled narrative
completeness that was as much sensory and it was verbal. Over the
course of my life, I had repeated certain narrative fragments to myself so many
times that they were like actual places I could visit: warm spaces that were
fully furnished and well-lit. When this world went silent, when these
warm narrative spaces were shut off from me, I felt untethered and
hollow. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: large;">It was in that silent
place that I discovered color. Sitting in my study placing colored
glass on old windows began as an activity to distract me from the hollow
feeling that haunted me – like doing crossword puzzles. Hours would
pass as I worked a piece and I was free from anxiety and the need to have a
clear purpose. Eventually, I had moments when I found myself
beaming with delight, truly transported by color and shape to a kind of
happiness that was entirely separate from language and narrative. I could not
have told you much about what elevated me to this new joy – it was
visual. I began to see shapes and color at night before I fell
asleep. I could listen to music and color would vibrate and shift in
front of my eyes as if dancing to the music. I found myself aware of a way of
seeing and being in the world that I had never known – something akin to my
friend’s experience of color in the museum so many years before. My
mind expands. The way that color visits me in quiet times is healing
and sustaining. It helps me to be patient so that I might understand
what has had happened to me. </span></span></div>

<i><span style="background: white; color: #202020; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: large;">"It seems to me that the desire to make
art produces an ongoing experience of longing, a restlessness sometimes, but
not inevitably, played out romantically, or sexually. Always there seems
something ahead, the next poem or story, visible, at least, apprehensible, but
unreachable. To perceive it at all is to be haunted by it; some sound, some
tone, becomes a torment—the poem embodying that sound seems to exist somewhere
already finished. "<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am compelled to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">make</i> things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over 25 years of academic production and
teaching literature and writing at state universities, I have regularly turned to my knitting needles,
my sewing machine, or, more recently, to the exquisite pleasure of covering
walls, objects, and sculptures with mosaics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During periods of greatest intellectual demand, productivity, or stress
I will lie awake at night designing mosaics, fabric collage, or garments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot rest properly until I have satisfied
these deep longings to create with color and texture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is as though the demands of my
intellectual life require a proportionate amount of time for making art: there
is an essential balance between the cerebral work I do and the more intuitive,
associative, creative work I do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-line-height-alt: 9.25pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: large;">These days, I have a “restless
longing” to make stained glass mosaics. This longing will surge up
out of an image or idea; pushing at my daily mental chatter, it will urge me to
follow. Small creative activities can sustain me for a while, can keep my longing
in check; but after a while, the pressure is too great and I must make the
thing itself. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I must follow the
image. And then I am tireless in my pursuit of the vision that “haunts”
me. I will be at work for hours and not miss the time; I will eat as I
work, cut every finger, make my back stiff and sore – I must make manifest the
thing that was always there on the edge of my vision. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Thich Naht Hanh once said, “<i>The practice of a healer, therapist, teacher
or any helping professional should be directly toward his or herself first,
because if the helper is unhappy, he or she cannot help many people</i>.” When I feel my teaching is stale or stiff,
when I am worn-down by the challenges of teaching in a world that does not
honor contemplation and deep, transformative learning, I am reminded that it
is time to practice my art and care for my soul.<br /> And yet, the same generative energy
that compels me to make objects also feeds (and is fed by) my teaching. In class, I challenge students to move
between intellectual applications and more associative “play,” pulling them into
exploratory and yet rigorous conversations.
Sometimes these conversations teeter on the edge of brilliance;
sometimes they crash to the ground. But
sometimes we achieve the magic symmetry of creative and intellectual inquiry
that leads to extraordinary insight. On
these occasions, I feel the same energized elation that I feel after a day of
art making. For me, teaching is one of
the places where the gifts of intellect and intuition come together in a

The blurb that goes with this YouTube video:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">"For 30 years, until retirement in 1997, Dr. Coleman Barks taught poetry and creative writing at the University of Georgia. As a professor emeritus, Dr. Barks still resides in Athens and writes and publishes under his own imprint, Maypop Books, as well as HarperCollins, the University of Georgia Press, and others. In addition to several poetry collections and books, Dr. Barks is the author of numerous translations of Rumi and has been a student of Sufism since 1977. His work with Rumi, a Persian mystical poet, was the subject of an hour-long segment on Bill Moyers's Language of Life series on PBS, and he is a featured poet and translator in Bill Moyers's poetry special, "Fooling with Words." Dr. Barks makes frequent international appearances and is well-known throughout the Middle East. His work has contributed to an extremely strong following of Rumi in the English-speaking world. Dr. Barks received his Ph.D. in English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, an honorary doctorate from Tehran University in 2006, and in March 2009 was inducted to the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame."</span><br />

(NOTE: Check this amazing place out before it closes! -- they are trying to sell the business, but if they cannot they will end up closing). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here are the other two pieces of glasswork I was able to finish during semester break. The window is for sale at <a href="http://www.artisansway.net/index.html" target="_blank">Artisan's Way</a> in Concord, MA. The lamp is staying with me for a while, though I may sell it through <a href="http://www.fivecrows.com/" target="_blank">Five Crows</a> in Natick, MA after a month or two (sometimes I have to live with a piece before I can let go).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Now I'm off to get buried in course-prep and research on domestic space :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've been back in the studio for a little creativity before the semester starts. There are several pieces but only one is ready for viewing (actually, they are all grouted but I finished two of them after dark and couldn't photograph them properly). So here is a picture of the window that I completed before the sun set:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This piece is 3' by 2.5' and looks wonderful in my front window -- though I will be selling it through Artisan's Way in Concord, MA (in case you like it). I will have to live with it for a while, though -- it's so hard to let them go at first!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've got another window and a lamp to finish up this week. I'll post pictures when they're done.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On December 5th I'll be selling a few of my mosaic pieces at a really fun holiday craft sale/fundraiser sponsored by the UMass Lowell Center for Women and Work, where I am an Associate. It's called "Women's Works" and it features the arts, crafts, and multiple talents of women who are friends and/or employees of UMass Lowell. Here are a few of the mosaic lamps I'll have at my table:</span><br />

But, you see, I've been silent inside for so many years that even a blast of beauty like Spain cannot coax that muse out of hiding (this, by the way, would be the subject of a ponderous post if, yes, you guessed, if I had the words! )</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In lieu of words, more pictures!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First, a little more Barcelona and Gaudi.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am writing this post while still in Barcelona -- where I am "suffering" with a case of mute awe. So pictures will have to suffice for now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First, I have got to thank my friend Margot -- to think that I was about to let her three years in Spain slip by without getting my butt over here! What was I thinking? Nada, apparently. "Nada y pues nada" -- to quote Mr. Hemingway. Fortunately, Margot <u>was</u> thinking. Raise a glass to Marvelous Margot and her beautiful daughter Claire:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a long time since I've added a post here, but the time has come! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm off soon to visit a dear friend in Spain and to see the work of Gaudi (at last!)! The anticipation is uncomfortable. It is so much better for me <u>not</u> to imagine what a trip will be like so that I am surprised and happy with whatever comes my way. But I have wanted to visit Barcelona for so long that I can't help it: my hopes are high!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll focus my mind on other (related) topics and show you a few of the things that I have made while I've been away from the blog. Unfortunately, I haven't even been very good at photographing my work before it goes out the door, so this is just a small sampling:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've also been on a trip to the Czech Republic since I last posted. It was a glorious week in April with a promise of spring around every corner. We stayed with good friends and explored parts of southern Bohemian we had not seen in the past. Here are a few shots from that trip:</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've been too busy with work and family to post much this fall, but I wanted to encourage you all to take a look at this wonderful TED talk on positive thinking -- I know, I know, there's a lot out there about this right now, but this guy is fun to listen to and inspiring. My thanks to Lissa EuDaly for telling me about the video!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">By the way, the suggestions for staying positive that Achor offers in this video have been so useful in helping me feel present and energetic throughout my father's emergency quintuple bypass surgery this past week and our days in the hospital with him! </span></div>
