The Berrys in France, a photo book

My family lived in Paris, France for 4 years. I visited a few times before finally moving there for almost 6 months in 2008.  This is a Shutterfly photo book I made last Christmas for my parents, which includes images from our adventures in France.

Cheers.

I hear my train a comin'

My first studio space. I come here to make art and to be my true self. I see and feel the materials move from loose beads to wearable art and I envision what blank paper can become as I meticulously fill it with dots and lines of vibrant color (more on this series later). 

My visual senses are not alone, as my olfactory sense is often satisfied by the work of the artist in the adjacent studio who makes soap and candles.

Sometimes I work without music because there are train tracks right outside my window. My own rhythm is is accompanied by a rumble and the rhythm of  wheels clacking over sleepers and screeching against rails.  The commuter and cargo trains often remind me to stop and look, to give thanks for nearby travelers, to honor that food and goods must come from somewhere, to remember that I am on a journey.

Thanksgiving Cranberries

Having Thanksgiving on Cape Cod was so memorable and meaningful. I got to spend it with the best people, in the best weather, and with the best food!  We gleaned cranberries at this beautiful bog on the bank of Santuit Pond. 

Deeply grateful you've stopped to enjoy my photography,

Sarah

PS: Last year at this very bog, I saw a gang of wild turkeys hopping over the water. I didn't this year. Hopefully they weren't garnished with somebody's fresh picked berries...

Hello?

 I spotted this 

phoneless booth 

in Brookline in front of American Craft.

The phoneless booth is a 3-year obsession
with no end in sight.

The pay phone is going the way of 

the film camera, the walkman, and dial-up internet...

only this technological t-rex leaves behind public

clunky vestiges of wired, stationary communication.

Please enjoy my growing collection of 

phoneless booths

Gorgeous light. Eve of my mother's 60th birthday celebration.

Ode to Before: The Cat and My Work

Before: The cat and my work.

Hello. As of October 1, 2011, one month ago today, I have been working out of a studio in Allston. This week's photo is my ode to the days of in-house assistance from the lovely Kitty Jane. While I'm glad to have a studio (where I am now able to leave my supplies out) I do sometimes miss my fuzzy visitor. Please stay tuned for some "after" shots, though they may not be labeled as such.... I am excited to continue sharing what I can create now that I've got the space to do it.

Can you hear my art beating?

Sarah
