estella mare. i am a conglomerate of images, inhaling them like air and distilling them into my own imagery always...
i am a runner.
i am waylaid by beauty.
i love to use clothes as a medium of expression, i love the memories attached to certain things ...
a nostalgic approach to fashion, clothes in movement, the sound of fabric, the smell..., since i normally work in two dimensions only ... painting and drawing ... i love to be able to become a sculptor when dressing, i am addicted to interesting silhouettes and shapes....
oh, i'm not small but here's my favourite self portrait in words by emily dickinson:
" am small, like the Wren, and my Hair is bold, like the Chestnut Bur - and my eyes, like Sherry in the Glass, that the Guest leaves."
i am painting pictures - for you.
(some of my work was showcased at the exhibition 'kinderstube' at gallery deluxe gallery in halifax this september. look for pictures in their archives section soon!
