Present Moment Wisdom
Whatever the present moment contains accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it--not against it.

Looking forward to seeing artist Jim Drain at Art Basel
I'm so loving Jim Drain and his large scale knitted sculptures. I can't believe I'm actually going to get to see his art and him in action in his studio at Art Basel Miami 2010 (this Friday). Sweet.

Jim Drain is a multifaceted artist whose current medium is knitting and felting sculptures...

“The heart of his art is knitting. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1998, Drain started using a friend’s knitting machine and found the meditative repetition pleasant and the results oddly suited to what he wanted to say: hard messages couched in softness.”
(Boston Globe)

Jim Drain on Knitting...
“I learned to knit actually I cheat and use a knitting machine which is still manual but not as portable as two needles or two fingers; anyway, that was in 2000 and I am still knitting like there is no tomorrow, I guess. It is a technology I suppose and it has taken me weird places (seeing clothing differently, seeing production and craft and work/time differently). Knitting is like painting, looking at the shelf, you never know how the colors are going to work together- in pattern, in texture, after being washed or fluffed or felted.”
