Thistletown
Musings of a Little Bear
|
|
| Name: | Little Bear |
| Website: | Thistletown Studio |
| Location: | Black Creek, BC, Canada |
| Birthdate: | 1977-08-29 |
| Bio: | "I am attracted to people who mould reality to fit a secret and highly personal anarchistic vision. They do not necessarily produce works of art. But that is not their goal. They relate to the world in a magical way that transforms and fictionalizes. People who describe their dream lives are not trying to leave their mark on the world. They create something they do not finish - perhaps because they love it too much, or they keep wanting to change it or they have nothing with which to replace it."
Raymond April
"Creative children look twice, listen for smells, dig deeper, build dream castles, get from behind locked doors, have a ball, plug in the sun, get into and out of deep water, sing in their own key."
Paul Torrence
Generally I prefer to be surrounded by scraps of paper, fabric, coloured thread and paints, and luckily I have a pretty green room all filled with these things. I spend as much time as I can in here, stitching and drawing up a world I call Thistletown.
This past year has been full of changes: we bought a house on Vancouver Island, and up and moved from busy Vancouver to the quiet lakeside country life. I've never been busier though - or happier.
