Lasqueti Press: May 2014

http://lasquetipress.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Artist Books and Fibre Studio of Linda M. Cunningham. Monday, 26 May 2014. I ended up having this song as an earworm the day after I got hired (part-time, at a well-known home improvement store) as I had to purchase a pair of proper boots to wear for work. Found the absolute lightest-weight pair possible bearing the necessary CSA approval marking - a green triangle, for those who care - required. As difficult as this past winter has been weatherwise, spring has eventually shown up, although many plants a...

Lasqueti Press: August 2015

http://lasquetipress.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Artist Books and Fibre Studio of Linda M. Cunningham. Friday, 7 August 2015. That I'm having more time to myself is being reflected in the creative work I'm producing, both from quantity and quality perspectives. It's not that I've just got a bunch of different pieces in various stages scattered about - although that's true too - but it's how I feel when I'm working on them, how quickly some of them are coming together, and how good they make me feel inside as they head towards completion. A graduate in ...

Lasqueti Press: February 2014

http://lasquetipress.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Artist Books and Fibre Studio of Linda M. Cunningham. Thursday, 6 February 2014. Like most artists, I often get asked to do pieces for a good cause. And I almost always say "no." But every once in awhile, I'll say "yes" because it's for a charity that I would otherwise support financially, or it's a project that intrigues me: either way, I look at it as a challenge to do something that stretches my creativity. I've written in the past. About the hats I've created to support This Is My City. Not sure wher...

Lasqueti Press: March 2015

http://lasquetipress.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Artist Books and Fibre Studio of Linda M. Cunningham. Tuesday, 3 March 2015. On the Shoulders of Friends. It's always the place that's easiest to cry. Yesterday, this blog turned eight years old, and I began my fifth year of solitude: I was a bit weepy around the house where I have spent all of these anniversaries, but that was about it, which is a vast improvement. Ironically, I met Michael in doing my installation piece The Simplicity of Ritual. The love that the Rabbits showed me in the weeks I spent ...

Lasqueti Press: January 2014

http://lasquetipress.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Artist Books and Fibre Studio of Linda M. Cunningham. Friday, 3 January 2014. The Texture of Despondency. I guess that title makes this post sound like a not-very-happy one, but that's not true. After I did the afternoon of watercolour painting at The Esker Foundation. In October, that I talked more extensively about in The Colour of Water. One of these was on the excellent movie The Royal Paintbox. And highly recommended) are available for academic research only. But after Prince Albert died in 1861, Qu...

Lasqueti Press: April 2015

http://lasquetipress.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Artist Books and Fibre Studio of Linda M. Cunningham. Wednesday, 22 April 2015. I've talked recently about "putting myself 'out' there" with such things as appearing on Trending on Shaw. And I took another step in wandering further down the "performance" road by signing up for a class in acting with masks. The white ones on the left were the ones we used the first day, and then added in the others on the right for the second. And I've added Cool Shades: The History and Meaning of Sunglasses. It looks a b...

Lasqueti Press: September 2014

http://lasquetipress.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Artist Books and Fibre Studio of Linda M. Cunningham. Monday, 29 September 2014. Re-Creating, Part Two. So, one of the shows (of the three openings in eight days) of all this fall was at the Galt Museum and Archives. In Lethbridge, AB, which closed last Sunday. I participated last year, entering Wild at Heart - A Shrine for Salmon. But as one of the first viewers of it said "you could easily call it 'the past through the lens of the future' too.". It's titled Neruda's Nest. I spun the yarn last summer to...

Artist Books and Fibre Studio of Linda M. Cunningham. Sunday, 10 August 2014. Despite my intention to blog more often - and there's certainly much that's been happening in my life, almost all of it pretty darned good, to write about - I'm just not finding the time to do so. Life continues to settle into a routine of eat, sleep, work, create art. That is reasonably comfortable and enjoyable. The big addition is the create art. In one of those "isn't it weird how things come together in threes? Although we...

Lasqueti Press: July 2014

http://lasquetipress.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Artist Books and Fibre Studio of Linda M. Cunningham. Wednesday, 2 July 2014. Between working, unpacking, and creating new art, blog updates have been few, though not for the lack of material to write about. I finally finished off the time-lapse video of The Simplicity of Ritual. When I wrote *Deracination*. Back on Wednesday, December 7, 2011, I wasn't sure I was ever going to want, or be able, to do that again, but here I am. Ironically, I wanted to finish this post off ten days ago, when I was in sout...

Lasqueti Press: June 2015

http://lasquetipress.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Artist Books and Fibre Studio of Linda M. Cunningham. Saturday, 6 June 2015. A Big Piece of Peace. The extended silence here on the blog has encompassed the handover of moving out from my extended winter house-sit - this was year four - which is a mixed blessing. It's always hard to leave the big house,. As usual, the reason for blog silence has been because real life has been too busy (and lately, complex) to carve out time for words and to take pictures to illustrate what's been happening. Spent last S...
