My latest Solarpunk Art starts with a poem...

A Pond is a Portal, A Stream is a Lucid Dream

Relax on a fluffy tufted surface, lay your head in a plume of pompoms, squishy like moss. Follow with your toes the rippling, sculpted sand into plushy streams of water, pooling at places of self reflection and refraction. Sparkling back your inner cuddle cub, as fingers find longer woollen grasses to curl up cozy in place and space. Our body knows that the divinely delicate is in the details, and the intuitively crafted landscape holds a spell embroidered into her underbelly : A Pond is a Portal, A Stream is a Lucid Dream.

In my meditations, I've been watching how smoke and steam, rise and fall. It's beautiful and I finally was able to capture it in paper/ cardboard art... Also find a use for all those cardboard toilet paper rolls it seemed a waste of material to throw away. Art supplies can be anything and inspiration is everywhere if we are willing to stop and notice.

This smoke symbol can be the symbol of a #firehorse #lunarnewyear and the aftermath of fire willpower and grace of a horse 🐎 🔥
