5 years of paper swap!

It was in November 2009 when I started the first paper swap.

The idea was to exchange material for collages and journaling and to get in touch with artists from all over the world.

I am happy that this is still going on and it still is a great joy to do so.

Please join me on that special day, November, 3rd,  swap paper and maybe with a bit of luck you will win the giveaway that will be a big fat envelope with all kinds of collage art stuff from my studio and of course some nice papers!

You can sign in now, everybody's welcome!

London Windows

One day I started shooting London windows. It is said that windows are the eyes of a house. Most of these windows I find quite exciting and „talking“, just like eyes are.

Brixton

Kennington

Near Liverpool Street Station

Grosvenor Gardens

Camden Town

Whitechapel

Somewhere in the city

Westminster

Southbound

I must let myself fall

Into the chaos of the city

Be flexible or I will break

Riding on some London Underground train again

Southbound, the black line

That cuts the city from North to South

Reminder of death and life

Of love and letting go

I can hear a gigantic breathing as it moves on

Through the darkness

And closing my eyes

I suddenly knew

That London is nothing but a huge organism

Breathing in and out

And me I am nothing but a cell

In the Underground veins

Connected forever to all the other cells

Of the huge warm body we are living in

No boundaries

No need for panic

No division

I can feel all the hearts

Beating as one

All the souls

With more or less the same wishes

Being loved for what we are

Not what we should be

Being plain and extraordinary

At the same time

Just letting go

Falling into the natural flow of the blood

Running through the urban veins

Till I see the daylight again

Oval shaped womanly

loving and loved

Endlessly by all the other cells
