Cyprus workshop 2014. Behind the scene

Bits and pieces of a couple of years back

It seems my blog has been missing some updates since 2013. Do people still read blogs?
Anyway, some of the events since that time that have been more or less important and have not been mentioned on my blog (but you could have read about it on my Facebook page):
My collaborative workshop in Cyprus in 2013 – which brought new meetings and new experiences.

The most beautiful experience of the workshop in Argentina!

And my Identity workshop again in Cyprus in 2014

And unforgettable Argentina again in 2014:

Every meeting is a gift and enriching experience, so I value it a lot. Though we all move forward in our own ways, you always stay in my heart, dear students.

On authentic creativity and ethics. Interviews.

An interesting feature and interview with 3 textile artists - Elis Vermeulen. Visual artist., Andrea Graham and me, Vilte Kazlauskaite - on authentic creativity and ethics, published in Australian magazine "Felt" ArtWear Publications, issue 12, 2014. Thoughts spinning around creative identity, true self, balance, ethics, etc. And one of my most favorite quotes from this article is the answer of Elis on a question of stimulation of revealing one's true self:
"Stimulation is not a word I would use myself, I would rather say there is no other way. I do not see the reason to reveal someone else's thoughts as if they were mine. Same as I only want to live my life and not someone else's I guess".
