Powertex es un material polimerado muy versátil, con el que se puede endurecer materiales porosos como el tejido, papel, cartón, etc. Powertex ofrece la posibilidad de transformar textiles , papel mache y cualquier tipo de papel en esculturas, "Stoneart", bisutería , cuadros., etc. Lo he descubierto hace poco y me encanta trabajar con él, y dar rienda suelta a mi "creatividad".

Catherine Nash – Artist Statement Many are afraid of the night, the dark, the inability to see. But our eyes will adjust and shapes can be discerned. There is a gradation to the night sky, to the depth of space. The turning of day to night is a display of vast beauty, subtle color shifting as the earth moves. The ancients observed the spiral unfolding of nature in all around them, mirrored in the sprouting of a seed, the radiating center of a flower, the proportions of the human form, the relationship of the Earth to the solar system, the turn of a galaxy. The spiral is a profound image of the movement of time and space. “Sacred geometry charts the unfolding of number in space” -Miranda Lundy I am inspired by things that make me wonder. I can spend hours staring into the sky, mesmerized by the expansiveness of the sky...pondering on our place in the universe. In my recent work, images of skies are seen through a frame of branches which act as a window frame or a containing matrix. Skies represent the infinite, represent spaciousness. I am interested in discovering a secret and intimate inner space. Can I unfold that within myself? Meditation. Quietude. Sanctitude. Silence. Trust. Peace. all images and text ©C.Nash'11 Catherine Nash The Circle Cannot Be Squared assemblage with vintage drawer, antique market finds, encaustic, raku fired ceramics, log, circle rock found in the Four Corners area of northern Arizona. 15”h X 17”w X 9”d 2011 above: full view below: 2 details below: Catherine Nash From the Outside In Encaustic painting in found weathered woodworked board with patinaed redwood shingles. 16”h x 13”w 2011 below: Catherine Nash Geometry Lesson Encaustic painting in an antique drawer; wax pencil and chalk on old school slate; page from a vintage Japanese math book; cross-section of a nautilus shell; antique calipers; photo of Galaxy 51, oil stick. 17.5”h X 32” w 2010 below: closed, full open and detail Catherine Nash Eclipsis Lunar Mixed media assemblage, encaustic painting in an antique box, wax pencil and chalk drawing of a ca. 1552 lunar eclipse diagram on an old school slate; antique copper compact, mica, branches, handmade paper with walnut ink and encaustic. 17.5”h X 25”w (open) X 10”d 2011 below: Catherine Nash Reliquary to the Dawn Mixed media assemblage with vintage drawer, encaustic, nautilus shell, antique market finds, raku fired ceramics, lashed pine needles from the Gila Wilderness, NM gathered at dawn. 14”h X 13”w X 5”d 2011

This has been a Valentine day. I also did a taping today, about using the ruling pen. I will upload it tomorrow after my Apple computer class. But a lot of my time and thought went into Valentines. In 2009, Bonnie Benson and I did a valentine swap. Thirty women sent us ten valentines and we sent each of them back eleven and a hand cut stamp. They also sent us 10 dollars and we donated this to Habitat for Humanity. When I took the checks to the charity’s office, the man manning the desk told me that this modest amount would add a dishwasher, disposal and microwave to a habitat kitchen. (I guess they don’t pay full price for anything.) This made me feel great, that some down-on-her-luck woman could have a kitchen that some of us take for granted. And we had fun while we were doing it. But Bonnie had broken her wrist during the time of the swap and didn’t feel like she got to enjoy the swap as much as she would like. So we decided to do something else for Habitat on Valentine’s this year. I had gotten a lot of the supplies I needed to restore my studio from the Re-store and I felt I should pay back. SO we are going to have a studio valentine-making party and also raffle off one of my valentines and one of Bonnie’s 3-D pieces. I had fun today finishing my piece for the raffle. I am looking forward to seeing what Bonnie’s King and Queen of hearts looks like. Here are some photos from the 2009 swap.

Akcje Pracowników Allegro dla PATRYKA Patryk Kowalski ma w tej chwili 11 lat, choć wygląda na kilkulatka. Cierpi na najcięższą odmianę pęcherzycy i jest w tej chwili – jak podają media – jedyną osobą z tym schorzeniem w Polsce. Każdy uraz, czy zwykły dotyk, powoduje „odklejanie” się warstwy naskórka od skóry właściwej Patryka i powstawanie na niej pęcherzy, które pękają i przekształcającą się w rozległe i bolesne rany. To samo dotyczy błon śluzowych, np. przewodu pokarmowego, oczu, nosa... dzięki wielkiemu sercu Miszelki moja praca jest na jednej z aukcji o TEJ polecam ją Waszej uwadze tą i każdą inną, która może pomóc Patrykowi „Dawanie samo w sobie jest doskonałą radością.” Erich Fromm
