CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW

Stacy Lovejoy

Lives and works in Portland, OR, USA

C reating art takes me back to my childhood- that time when you admire water drops which sparkle in a sunny ray; seek funny characters in a rug; giggle over your puddle reflection and smile when a gentle wind tickles your cheeks. A time when you are happy-golucky, sensitive, almighty, and sometimes naive, but always genuine. I am an eternal child and art allows me to maintain this state of being.

I love to be in nature- to hug trees, absorb astonishing color combinations with my fibers, to examine bird coloration, membrane of leaves, which is full of moisture... I relish a beauty of a fruit pulp, a whisper of ocean sand, scents of forest ā€¦ Iā€™ m a part of nature- Its disciple and the art tool.
Every time I examine my finished art works, I am pleasantly surprised that they were created by me!
ā€˜ The Radiant Thread,ā€™ tells a story about an engrossing journey to my subconscious to find my mission on Earth. During the whole journey, I watched myself from the sidelines, immersed in my memories, and explored dreams. This experience has taught me to always follow my heart, think abstractedly and to discover the wonder in everything. Today, you can see the artworks which symbolize my points and discoveries that made me closer to a thread of sense. The radiant thread, which I ' ve finally distinctly seen.
