g. roslie’s natural dyed textile art

my aim is to create a sense of peace, calm & contemplative reflection through the work i do both for myself as the maker and for the viewer. this is part of the “ordinary times” series celebrating the extraordinary beauty & fragility of sights, sounds, taste & touch we might witness during the course of what could be called an ordinary day.

just a moment

35.5 h x 27.5 w”

natural dyed linen, cut & sewn on wood hanger

The moment when, after many years

of hard work and a long voyage

you stand in the centre of your room,

house, half-acre, square mile, island, country,

knowing at last how you got there,

and say, I own this,

is the same moment when the trees unloose

their soft arms from around you,

the birds take back their language,

the cliffs fissure and collapse,

the air moves back from you like a wave

and you can't breathe.

No, they whisper. You own nothing.

You were a visitor, time after time

climbing the hill, planting the flag, proclaiming.

We never belonged to you.

You never found us.

It was always the other way round.

~Margaret Atwood
