My idea of feminism is self-determination, and it’s very open-ended: every woman has the right to become herself, and do whatever she needs to do. Ani DiFranco As an artist on the page you’re like a human on the job. You show up. You do your stuff. You work on becoming yourself, in what ever […]

Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time… Bill Gates When there is nothing going on we pick up our smart phone and check what’s happening somewhere else.

A Personal Abecedarium of iHanna – part 2
It doesn’t really matter what you make, it matters what you are thinking. And how one thought changes another. And noticing that. And making a whole out of it. A Oneness again.

Week in the Life | Wednesday
Wednesday I stay at home. With the camera set on the tripod I use the beloved clicker quite a lot to get myself in the photos more! I love the clicker. It becomes a day of errands, walking to town and having time to listen intensely to an audio book while moving around. Related PostsWhat […]

Sketching on Fabric

Proof of my existence
I like how random images from my image folder shows a sort of me-ness on the page. Selected new clippings and some that are a couple of years old are joined together into a collage. In this way the art journal is full of self portraits. Images that you can read as parts of I, […]
Creative Photography with a Smart Phone
