Jo Bain ArtNews/What do you Seek?

Only one month to my solo show, "Switch"
It's been very intense with them all in the studio, three years of work and with seeing this finale coming together before my eyes ,its exhilarating, and the paintings are bubbling forth,
surely I should be tired and finished but each piece starts another, several trips to beg borrow more paint, these HAVE to be painted... I should be pulling threads together, better not come unravelled... Just have walk without FEAR and all is possible.
Going to be the most exciting thing to see them with the beautiful light,
[ NorthArt is a wonderful space] we are all seeking something, is it light or the LIGHT?
I CAN SEE the whole pattern,We look for fulfillment in all the wrong places, rushing here, buying this, always busy, seems so hard to find peace , a moments silence, we are bombarded with sensory overload at every turn,
when did it become about quantity, NOT quality?
Being home sick for all these months has made me see, truly see ...
The world is inside out and we are looking at every thing upside down, what is truly important, what do we cherish...
What would break your heart, what would leave you broken???
I have been right down to the nothingness and you are still you, intact, pure
How beautiful is that?
