If someone does something with certain feelings then some of those emotions
and ideas will be "accumulated" in his or her work, and they could be
felt by the other people who see or use the results of work.
Do you
think, that
it might be true?
I do.
If something is done with love and devotion, it could be "felt" by
sensitive people. And if someone thinks personally about a special person and
creates something especially for him or her, it adds this thing a value that
could be not measured in money.
And in opposite - if something is done simply because of
money, as quickly
and cheaply as possible, than it also creates a certain culture of things. A
culture of having a lot of them and wanting more, and getting rid of new things
quickly,
and throwing them away to make place to
some
newer.
At the very beginning of my silk painting I knew that I
would never become a handworker who has ten frames with silk in a row and who
moves as quickly as possible from one to another to create ten similar scarves
with minimal amount of time to make them as cheap as possible.
I like to meditate with one scarf for days, sometimes for weeks and
more.
I also like to sing while drawing. I am an Estonian, and in our culture singing
plays a very important role - our song festivals are world famous, it might be
said that we sang us free from Soviet Union. I
think that the positive spirit of my songs, the time of meditation and the pure joy of painting
somehow accumulates in my scarves.
Singing
scarves
represent a different culture
of things that is quite rare in today's world.
