Priscilla's Pickle Palace


I was recently invited to a birthday Pickleball party. I had no idea what it was and too many funny thoughts and ideas flowed into me, so I decided it was the perfect opportunity to have a go at constructing the first (to my knowledge) and only pickle sculpture.

I would have loved to go for a 360 degree perspective but even well-drained pickles are too flimsy to stand up to the weight...




 drained sweet and dill






































Of course I always have to play with the photo editing on my phone...






















... the inevitable collaspe 





I do think this would make a good substitute asana in yoga for the Shavasana at the end of one's practice (I always feel quite tangled and, well, just falling apart/short seems a little more accurate "death" than neatly getting comfortable...  -

 " ...and we will now conclude our practice with the Pickle Posehavsana-manamama, so just collapse from here and feel it! ...
[ later ]
...and coming to a sitting position, bringing hands together,
Namaste."

...






...into the compost bin to break down into new possibilities...

A collaboration - the best kind of art!

an art video, amazing music, by a brilliant musician and soul. I am looking forward to putting a show together this winter where we project these creations by Clay on a very tall building - it feels like the best way to display and experience them - We are after-ALL Grand.



Sometimes art can remind us of our True self.

Lift - A Collaborative Art Book




Launched on March 29th, 2017. 




I love this project!
It's a unique expression of connectivity and mystery that continues to fuel my imagination as we are connected uniquely with each individual who experiences it, 
contributes
      and moves it along,

endlessly...


If you have happened upon it, I am touched.

Here are a few pictures from launch day:

















































I offered it to someone I don't know personally but deeply inspires me—what a treat to connect through my work.

Thank you for the gift of your acceptance, it was a fun moment!
