Title of Work:  Grace Medium:          Mixed Media Date Created:  10-17-2003 While I was working on this art doll, she seemed fragile. I had several dreams solving technical construction problems (e.g., how to stabilize the arms and legs). In a dream dated 09/05/2003: A teen-age girl with brown hair is curled up in bed crying. She has been abused. She is alone. She allows herself to accept that suffering is real; and she responds by falling apart, breaking down, collapsing. I comfort her and hold her in my arms. Following this dream, I added the quilted crown backed with copper wire and ballerina shoes -- and named her "Grace."

Title:                   Summer's End Medium:             Dream Inspired Poetry Date Created:     Fall of 2007 I wrote this poem after dreaming of an old woman pulling a cart beside a dirt road. Riding on the cart is a dog wrapped in clear plastic.

Summer's End I have not abandoned my deep self the ferret (thief). I can see her walking in the leaves kicking at the grass in my backyard thin legged boxelder bugs and Japanese beetles sun themselves like dogs shuffling through maple seed keys consumed by the tongues of October.
