<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is a monumental post for me! My last post was back on September 8th 2013!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's been an epic four year break from blogging. I wonder what got the better of me? My guess is that parenting became a whole lot more challenging and I remember we took a giant leap of faith and moved to Mullumbimby. I guess I </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">couldn't do it all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My son is now six, and he is thriving and </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am back teaching Visual Art & Media at a local High School and gently nudging the creative muse as I balance this life.</span></div>

It's been a year long hiatus from making art, however, it wasn't out of choice, I just wasn't inspired.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Has this ever happened to you? Having a lack of inspiration to be creative? I've come to the conclusion that this is a normal part of the process and of living. It's okay. The circle will come back around again and everything will be alright. One thing for certain is I have been in need of <i>golden repair</i>. I recently stumbled across the Japanese term<b> Kintsugi</b> which means<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span>"golden joinery". It<span style="font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: nowrap;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer.</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">What I love about the philosophy of Kintsugi is that the objects in all their imperfections, with their cracks and experiences of a</span></span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;"> life lived become even more beautiful and treasured. The breakage and repair becomes part of the object and is not treated as a disguise. So, it's about celebrating the fact that we become who we are from these breakages. We grow in beauty - an important self discovery.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, while I crack open a bottle of champagne when we reach the mark - I want to give one lucky Alleva printmaker fan a special present.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A gorgeous Blackbird singing brooch.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'Lady with the red shoes', was made in 2007. I was running a market stall at the Byron, Bangalow and Channon Art & Craft markets at the time and there was quite a bit of interest in this style of imagery and medium. I ended up making a series of these ladies. They were all standing under trees at night with a bird watching them, however t</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">his is the only painting where the lady is wearing red shoes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Coincidently I was reading <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Women-Who-Run-with-the-Wolves-Clarissa-Pinkola-Estes/9781846041099?redirected=true&gclid=CNmgpuTeirYCFQUipQodF0EAMA">'Women who run with wolves</a>' and it was no walk in the park as it took me a year to read. One of the chapters caught my attention and it was Clarissa's analysis of the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">cautionary tale originally written by Hans Christian Anderson. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can find an insightful analysis </span><a href="http://zenandtheartoftightropewalking.wordpress.com/2011/03/26/the-red-shoes-a-dark-faery-tale-of-compulsion-and-addiction/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> by Vivienne Tuffnell and/or</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> read the short version of the tale <a href="http://www.catherineshafer.com/estesred.html">here</a> but I recommend buying the book,<a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Women-Who-Run-with-the-Wolves-Clarissa-Pinkola-Estes/9781846041099?redirected=true&gclid=CNmgpuTeirYCFQUipQodF0EAMA"> Women who run with Wolves by </a></span><span style="font-family: Arial; text-align: -webkit-center; white-space: nowrap;"><span style="color: #ffcccc; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Women-Who-Run-with-the-Wolves-Clarissa-Pinkola-Estes/9781846041099?redirected=true&gclid=CNmgpuTeirYCFQUipQodF0EAMA">Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD.</a></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now be warned it is a dark tale and one that is about addiction and therefore is about the choices we make. However, the image I created has an element of positivity (of course!), after all it is just a fairytale. In my picture the lady is dreaming of her hopes and dreams and she has the red shoes on. However, she is standing under the 'tree of life' and it's luminous golden aura is offering her one last chance to rid herself of her dark addiction. The scene marks a major turning point in her life. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The bird is the listener, and it is waiting for her to let go, unwrap herself, open her eyes and awake from her slumber and confront what it is that keeps her engulfed in the darkness. She is tired and it is time for her to fight her way back to the light and finally take off the red shoes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The space around a shape or stitching is very important to me. The simplicity of the compositions allows the materials and textures room to breath. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love to collect textural things from op-shops or vintage collectable shops often at random and store them away until one day often years later I find a home for it within one of my machine stitched mixed media pieces. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'Bird & Stone' is a </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">new series</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> that has evolved not only from the recent friction caused from changing and re-branding our name but also from the reality check that not all things are as they seem. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The idea for 'Bird & Stone' anchors itself somewhere within the duality of the sea, o</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ne day calm and peaceful and the next day wild and treacherous, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and therefore is used as a metaphor. On a deeper level this work responds to our amazing capacity for resilience in times of hardship. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This work also investigates the concept of 'authenticity' and questions the grey area between the original and the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">platitudinal. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes the vision is blurred by 'smoke and mirrors' and at other times it's like the clarity of looking at the stars from on top of a mountain on a clear, balmy summers night.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The boat you were navigating through calm sunlit waters turns unknowingly towards the peril of the rocks. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is pressure on all fronts, a heavy gale at the back, a strong wind ahead, currents twisting and churning. There is no escaping the inevitable storm ahead. Or is there?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Right in that moment you are suspended, thoughts of longing dissipate. The senses are </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">heightened</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have changed our name! Well - we are still in changeover mode and trying it out. It may still change but for now I am <u>Katie Alleva</u>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I like the tag of 'print-maker' because it's like a play on the current 'maker' movement and I am also in the process of categorising my work as I work in many mediums and therefore I am looking at an array of names and titles for each edition or series of work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you head on over to my shop <a href="http://www.katiealleva.com.au/">www.katiealleva.com.au</a> you will see what I have started to do. I hope to change over the names with the seasons. That is if life doesn't start taking over my zest for creating. As you know, life is constantly changing and throwing a few curve balls for us to catch or dodge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Things may slow down here for a little while as I log off from the online world and start working in our local art gallery over the next month on a casual basis. I am looking forward to working on the flip-side of the creative world. A blog, a website, social media or an online project are great ways to display your work and meet new people who are working on their creative endeavors but we still cannot forget or devalue the importance of exhibiting in and/or visiting art galleries. We need to experience the artwork or beautifully crafted object on the physical plane.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my biggest ongoing challenges is, (due to inappropriate photography equipment and set-up), 'how do I capture the beauty and detail of my textural textiles pieces and works on paper?'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My absolute love is the 'impressed, the inked and the embossed' on gorgeous high quality 300 gram printmaking paper and the only way to truly revel in its sublime beauty is to feel it and study the raised and indented surfaces with a wondrous and curious eye and heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, this year marks the year of high quality product shots. I am determined to achieve this. So bare with me as I experiment and fail and experiment and one-day succeed. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last (or first) 8 days of the new year have been spent in my studio -morning, day and night. When I am not in the studio I am chasing my active toddler who wants to run around outside poking sticks at rocks and picking white daises, and generally he 'want go garden' all the time. Also, I wash a never ending pile of clothes with bits and pieces of soiled face washers and tea towels. I have been </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">listening to my husband write and record new songs, been grocery shopping, and reading gorgeous books to my boy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What can I say? It has been the most inspiring and wonderful start to a new year ever - it is total bliss to be able to live freely and creatively knowing that we have all we need. To bunker down in our creative spaces is to strike gold. We have been working hard over the last sixteen years - experiencing, collecting and improving our studio set-ups and obtaining equipment that enhances our creative explorations. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To be honest, I have found being a mother the most inspiring and creative journey of my life. I wont deny that it has been equally the most challenging thing as well. I guess I chose to turn around my feelings of entrapment, suffocation and creative repression and use them to my advantage. I became driven by my fellow female ancestor's stories of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">struggle to obtain an identity other than 'mother.'</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was late one night while I was breastfeeding that I conjured up the 'Little Paper Tree' name. It derived from about a list of five possible names I had written down years ago. I created this blog at about 3am with babe in arms out of shear passion, frustration, ambition and need. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">I had a vision of a beautiful space where freedom of expression and support were paramount. The space housed a concept gallery, shop and education facility that proudly displayed the work of all that participated in a joyous wonder of creative expression, technique, soul, goodness and humbleness.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">The sharing of technique/s and ideas is part of my inner make-up and soul. I believe a work of art or product made by a 'maker' is unique because it's their hand, eye, experience and intellect that creates each of their pieces. Even if they are working within similar bounds.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> An artist does a lot of pondering. There is a lot of sitting around on a chair thinking about how a piece relates to another fragment</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. I can really drive myself crazy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The tree you see below has been living in an artwork for almost a year now and well I just didn't like it anymore. So I moved the tree to this scene and I recently moved it to another scene where it is now juxtaposed with another print.</span><br />
