Story:
To receive anything in this world is based upon the totality of one’s acts in each state of one’s existence, so says the Karmic Bank. But what an incredible deposit could I have made, past, present or future to receive the blessing of a wonderful being in my life, my son. The chaos of the past seems as a ghosted image, as I see today, family suspended between work and home. Balance what you love to do, with the people you love to be with, and let karma reward you… as it has rewarded me.
Materials:
A mid-1800’s Chinese silk embroidered purse, with an early 1800’s Chinese mother-of-pearl flower basket (an emblem of the Eight Immortals), accented with 3 silk tassels suspended below, all resting on a mid-1800’s Chinese infant receiving blanket, mounted on a basket weave of contemporary rainbow fabrics, each wrapped in silk and painted with gold Sanskrit letters, intertwined with early 1800’s Japanese screen paper, on gold-leafed and acrylic and fluorescent painted watercolor paper, with fragments of pages from an antique copy of the Analects of Confucius, veiled in a golden antique Tibetan prayer scarf and contemporary violet silk.
