instead it is the affect of water on two color sands. This natural marbling was fascinating to watch. Volcanic black sand mixing with ocean white sand. I found it more interesting than the monkeys who were behind me stealing dorito bags from our neighbor.

I am preparing for a gallery show here in Memphis that begins on Nov. 2. Of course that brings a shiver of insecurity, a shake of delight and a shimmer of panic. I have three weeks to prepare all pieces. Most are finished but some are still in gestation stage. And that means long hours with the needles.
Here are three that need final touches.
Works in process, Paula Kovarik.
On the theme of we-are-not-alone I found these delightful tracks in the sand on a largely abandoned beach in Costa Rica last week. Looks like a gathering came together then parted company after some discussion. I especially like the little zipper tracks going across the middle.

The view outside our treetop house in costa rica gives us a panorama of grays and greens. If you look closely you can see the cell phone towers in the distance. An odd conjunction of wild flora and wireless reach.

I saw this shadow on my walk yesterday and couldn't resist a quick shot. There is a nice tension between the arrow-like left side and the intertwined right. most fascinating to me though is the gap between. It is neither horizontal nor vertical and has subtle diagonals and squiggles. Notice how the straight line that connects the links on the right turns into a wiggle on the left. The image speaks to the tension and stress I have been feeling in the past few days and also has a hint of release in it.
I will wiggle on.
