EMBROIDERING THE FUTURE

Sheet no. 137 : “ROSES TODAY”

It may seem awkward that a sheet born in the name of the future sees the word “today” in the title. But the future is born today, indeed now.

For women, and for every being, the time to postpone is over: the time of roses is today. Bread is no longer enough and other nourishment is just as necessary. And what is art but food for the soul?

That’s why, for us, for everyone, ROSES TODAY!

Background:

It’s high time we acknowledged that the human psyche continues to be hungry and keeps feeding on that dimension where everything evokes something else, in an endless game of embracing the past and… embroidering the future: the phantasmagorical dimension of the symbol!

With the following ingredients you can do what you please:

Start

White

Red

Sheet

Thread

Needle

Words

Images

Women

Men

Future

let’s embroider the future together, to dialogue with the me that will be and the us that will be.

Starting right Now!
