The fourteen days of the art residency were intense, and sadly passed with the speed of light.
The virtual motherly nest created to nurture our art practices gave birth to the new understanding of tenderness and support, care and sharing, patience and passion, inspiration, and outcomes.
Hours together in real-time feed periods of being away experiencing invisible togetherness. We continue thinking about each other, asking questions in silence, discussing meetings alone, trying new techniques in darkness and sunlight, writing each other emails, weaving each other practices into our own.
Then coming back to six/seven faces on zoom, the inspirational portal.
This repetition brought rhythm and magic to the cooperation, routine, and impulses of creativity.
Days become dense with the art process, and the mind has sharpened.
Time of pure Jouissance.
