TURTLE VISIONS
My last notebook I finished was called "a notebook on Turtle visions".
Turtles came into my life recently through the xerox shop I collaborate
with for my mail art publications, through the art work of Tatjana Neuber
and Elaine Rounds. So, I read this as a sign: turtles would follow up
snakes and prepare turtle celebrations in 2002 when I want to travel again
to the USA. Many native american people refer to living on Turtle Island.
There are stories that a giant turtle rose out of the ocean and allowed the
plants, animals, birds and people to live on its back ?
Turtle reminds us how to restore connections. Time is not linear but
circular. See the patterns on the back of a tortoise: we are born and
return to the spirals of earth, air, water and fire.
Free media and size. Deadline is December 31, 2001. Exhibition and
publication.
