Day 89 of Year 2 (Actually Day 90)
While uploading images to my new website (www.sybilarchibaldart.com), I came across an older print titled "so many fish long for bait “. The title, a line from a poem by Wang Wei, suggests wanting and wanting was is not good for us.
This image, strikes me as the opposite of that. The spacious emptiness of the boat and fish, calm in the face of stormy weather, is something I aspire to. How much room can be made to allow for life to flow through. More than any other image I've made recently, this one gives me hope. The fact that this image could come through shows how much these monotypes have changed and healed me. I feel very grateful and renewed in energy for my work. xo
