Moons and Mirrors: reflections and connections

Five months since the last post on this page. Months of Winter seem to have slipped by as we carry on with our interests here. Lots of posting on Instagram at Tim Raymond Studio and Pat Pendleton Studio. Tim is preparing for a show (Sticks and Stones) at Hunt Gallery in Buffalo during April 2023. He recently posted a new painting that got me thinking about connections, as I do. More and more, I see parallels and reminders of one thing to another.

I love the title of Tim’s recent painting, THE MOON’S HAND MIRROR. I also could not help notice that a recent addition to our kitchen art display, my pizza box painting from 2015, Harvest Moon is somehow related…

and also somehow related is a recent acquisition, a vintage Bakelite hand mirror in a lovely yellow…

Speaking of mirrors, I have been working on final preparations for The Shape of Becoming: Woman in the Mirror–a memoir in seven stories to be published this Summer, a demanding process that I will be writing about at some point when it is behind me.

The world is a mirror and everything becomes strangely (pleasingly, predictably, happily) connected and reflected.
