-will there ever be a moment, where I just breathe,
in and out of spaces not of my own, comforting
myself in the darkness, while simultaneously waiting
for the light, which to no end, seems impossible,
I discover my strength in those moments, hidden
beneath the sand, waiting for my chance, I scream
and break free, nothingness doesn’t seem to have
me, I taste the honey dripping, from vases, that
surround me, clinging hopelessly to the truth, the
power that comes from within me, am I real?
am I surreal? do you know? maybe so, but I do hope,
there will be a moment where I can just breathe and
let go…

- the word oriole comes from the latin word for golden, aureolus

A little friend I made a while back 🧡 Mini mixed media collage of a Baltimore oriole (Icterus galbula), 3” x 4.5” on paper. Spotting one of their distinctive nests never fails to delight me! It takes about week for the female to weave her nest from whatever strong fibers she can find—grasses, string, weeds, animal hair. The nests are so sturdy that the birds may reuse them many months later, after returning from their winter grounds (which should be starting just about now!!)

#TextileTuesday: look closely, it’s a “needlepainting!” A favorite piece from the “Making Her Mark: A History of #WomenArtists in Europe, 1400-1800” exhibition at Baltimore Museum of Art:
Mary Linwood (British, 1755-1845)
after George Stubbs (British, 1724-1806)
Tygress, c. 1798
Worsted wool needlework
“The vibrant copper, red, and green passages in this copy after George Stubb's painting Tygress are rendered not in paint but stitched in dyed wool thread. By the 1780s, Mary Linwood had become famous for her ‘needlepaintings,’ which she exhibited at the Society of Artists in London.
Later, she opened her own public exhibition of her works that debuted in London and then toured to cities in Scotland and Ireland; in 1806, she opened her own gallery in Leicester Square in London, where this work was shown. Her gallery remained a major attraction for nearly forty years.”
