Thanks to great effort on the part of David and I, there are now 31 bundles of garlic hanging from the rafters of our shed. Each bundle has 15-20 garlic bulbs, freshly pulled from the warm, hay mulched earth. Rain is forecast for Tuesday. I wanted to get it under cover before the rain began.
This is why I've included an image of one of my winter projects from 2008, a sculpture of garlic, blueberries and tomatoes made in white sculpture clay on the blog today. Yes, winter was a great time to celebrate the garden that year. Some of these peices and a large charcoal drawing were included in a group show at Acadia University art gallery the following spring. It was a VANS show for my geographical region, curated by two great artists, Terry Drahos and Deborah Nicholson.
So you see garlic is big in my life. I grow a lot of it, photograph it, draw it and sculpt it. Oh yes, I also eat it.
Yoga today was calming and restorative. Deep restful breaths, there was nothing at all aerobic about today's practise. Still tired from my trip it seems. What a blessing for me, to know that yoga can help so much.
