a rouge pipe cleaner.... escaped from the craft supplies
#Wooly bear caterpillar! Love them#So cute and fuzzy#You can pick them up without hurting your hands#and they roll into the cutest little ball coil when they're scared#They freeze solid in the winter and then pop back out in the spring just fine#And they are so shiny despite their muted colors#Fantastic little critters

Wally Dion, born 1976, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Fabric Star Quilts.
Wally (Walter) Dion is a Canadian artist of Saulteaux ancestry living and working in Upstate New York. Working in a number of media including painting, drawing and sculpture.
Wally explains:
"The first fabric star quilt was made as part of a 2022 residency at Wanuskewin Park. It was my way of reflecting upon prairie tall grass and the reintroduction of bison into the Great Plaines. I wanted to make several transparent quilts and superimpose them; one in front another... a quilt for the microbiome, another for the bison, their manure & hooves, another for the summer fires that scorch the ground and a final quilt for the sweetgrass braid.
I was considering how all of these things worked together for thousands of years to create what is known as the 'prairie tall grass ecosystem'. A vast and fertile expanse of land stretching from the foothills of Alberta to the banks of the Mississippi. I wanted to highlight the invisibility of systems when everything is working well, as it should be.
I started with the green quilt because it is the colour of the sweet grass braid that is exchanged in ceremony and relationship building. I considered the nature and tradition of quilting; impoverished craftspeople using tiny scraps of fabric. I considered the act of offering fabric and adherence to tradition. I thought of a thousand tiny prayers and how that might look; invisible acts of respect and adherence to protocols spanning decades. My thoughts travelled across the land, imagining the trees and rocks collecting these prayers like a bush of cloth, or an etched boulders."

#Sky#Night#Stars#Art#Shapes#Colors#Okay I am not normal about this#I have had this post open on my phone for months and I would go and stare at it whenever my brain needed seritonin#These feel like the best kind of 1800s celestial woodcuts#These have colors that make my brain go brrr#These feel like each one is wrapped around a story that is woven into the others like a complex braid#I wish I could climb into these moments and breathe them in#Anyway OP I love these a lot#Thanks for posting your art

#Art#Oh this is perfect#the chunkiness of the strokes#The way it feels like sleet falling and the water lunging hungrily at the railing#the liminal space of the walkway that would be a pleasure in fine weather and is a different kind of dangerous pleasure in this storm#The colors! The COLORS#Absolutely gorgeous

Jupiter from the James Webb Space Telescope
#I want to put it in my mouth#I want to wear it on a necklace#I want to roll it in my hands like an icy marble slipping over my skin#I want to hold it up to my ear and hear the rush of the wind#Jupiter#Space#James Webb Space Telescope#I love this obviously#Stupendous
