“My heart embraces every form... I follow the Way of Love and where Love’s caravan takes its path there is my religion, my faith.” Ibn ‘Arabi More ink and watercolor on display at @smithandvalleegallery through this weekend #embraceeveryform #sufipoetry #backinblack https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpcqhkal0sa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4g6yi9vc2r3n

“I emerged from the darkness of existence and became what I am (you know me) from the          Light of Being: blackened like charcoal dark soul's smoke but mixed with love fires and illumined.” Gharib Nawāz This is the last weekend to see my show with Peregrine O’Gormley @smithandvalleegallery — I hope you can experience the work before it goes into its storage-caves for hibernation! #backinblack #sufipoetry #burnburnburn https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpco-dyld-M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hvelandce9az

Installation of Living With Water, a year long collaboration undertaken with artists Cynthia Camlin and Heidi Epstein)along with others too numerous to mention in this instance but needless to say, it’s been a big long birthing process!

A month ago I was tending to my tiny glass cubes. This week wrapped up installation of another cube on a much larger scale at the Museum of Northwest Art... looking forward to sharing the experience with the public today! . . . #nwglass #glassart #dakotaartstore https://www.instagram.com/p/Boms2VPl9ak/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1em308ad8yvw0

Opening tonight during the Bellingham downtown art walk, 6-9pm! Dakota Gallery presents an exhibition by Skagit artists Troy Gilpatrick and Jasmine Valandani featuring photos, texts, sculpture and works on paper. “There Was No Shorter Way Home” alludes to experiences of journey, path and home as reality and metaphor. Troy Gilpatrick documents physical as well as emotional and spiritual journeying in the Cascade region, using text as a counterweight to the images. Jasmine Valandani employs found book papers and glass microscope slides to open up the overlooked or peripheral spaces that exist as containers for knowledge. Both artists’ works invite viewers to reflect on conscious way-making through reflection and attention, finding beauty and repose in the margins of our media-saturated world. @dakotaartstore_bham #dakotagallery #therewasnoshorterwayhome (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BncY7BghImA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vurveep714xp
