Jenny MathiassonLater this week it's Saint Dwynwen's Day here in #Wales and I wrote a little piece for #ArtUK (a wonderful organisation, by the way - their catalogue is just chef's kiss!) about #Dwynwen and seeing affection in everyday objects.
Can you find a little #love around you this week? What items hold unexpected affection in your daily life?

NoholQ: I would like to know about artists. Does it happen that some person creates?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: It is the quality of that great knowledge "I Am" that creates.
Q: Can you be an artist if you are not free from the
body-mind concept?
M: It is an aid to the artist that we are in the body. The body is the support of that beingness.
“Skin has become inadequate in interfacing with reality. Technology has become the body’s new membrane of existence.” — Nam June Paik
