"A veil of fog was draped over the sea.Sky and sea were one. No dividing line between the two of them.
All was quiet. Even the waves..."
Pascale, describing a nearly deserted beach.
She is my week-end guest artist, and as with all my guests, there are no fences in her brain, only open road.
"more and more of these show up in the metro here...More often though you'll find the advertising boards covered in blue, green or black paper. A sign there's a crisis in advertising..."via week-end guest: Pascale, and her blog: between the lines

"Sophie's art practice has continued to evolve and deepen over the past 2 decades through embracing significant changes and challenges with courage and enthusiasm, curiosity and perseverance.Energy may flag at times and life can interfere with plans but for Sophie there is something perennially life-giving about continuing to produce artworks and explore ideas. That the unexpected can and does happen is a lesson well learnt...but perhaps the greater lesson is in finding the poetic, the transcendent in all that comes along."
Sophie's artist statement...
"Rather than name places, towns and villages passed through or stayed at, it seemed fitting to commemorate the roads travelled as it was the road trip itself that was so unique about this holiday. A camera was rarely used, several drawings done, but much of it was an experience committed to memory and the reading of each road's name serves as a remarkable prompt for those memories to come flooding back...The totality of the experience is there and the parts. It is my poem for the way through many places..."These 2 works represent a meditative practice I found consolation in when reflecting on change over years-in particular the act of relocating and the resulting process of coming to terms with confrontation of the new, loss of the old, and skills needed to cross that bridge. I learnt that there wasn't a common household name for the phenomenon of significant upheaval through repeated dislocation/relocation, although sociologists and various professionals were naming it."
