There is so much beauty in an ugly world. We capture a moment in time. It evokes our emotions and stirs our soul. It releases something inside of us that makes us feel alive. The heart is pounding, blood rushes through our veins. And the Image is beautiful. Then the feeling fades…we come back down to earth….but the experience lingers long enough to inspire us to find the next moment of beauty in the ugliness.

It is interesting, no, make that more than interesting, how being in this community of art, can make me feel something when I have no feelings to share. In between short periods of time that are torture episodes in reality, I can slightly relax and look forward to a new work or completion of one. I see and sense similarity around me and taken aback by the beauty created by others, I attempt not to be persuaded or influenced to copy any image to my brain for duplication elsewhere. I cannot view the work of others too long. My admiration may come alive in a work that needs to be my own beginning and end. 01-22-08 09:35 a.m. PST

when i see wounderfully powerful photo’s such as jo’s . i sit back and think…did the photos we did evocate a responce, question/questioning and did they clearly convey a message / all listed below are on our home page www.redbubble.com/people/earhertchappel / “grey fetal pain” / this piece grey was to mean not clear as black and white / fetal was for baby /fetus / pain was for the loss / so what i was trying to say with this photo, is that a miscarriage / an abortion of the fetus was extremely painful.and that sometimes there are no clear cut answers why with a miscarriage, and how some women made a decision not to carry out their pregnancy, and that in most that i have spoken with the “why” factor in adulthood has them question the what if, and the pain a woman feels from the loss of her baby. “lilith with immortality and knowledge” / it is said that lilith in part snake like form tempted eve, to take from the tree an apple. / lilith had a choice the tree of knowledge and the tree of life.”knowledge” would give eve and adam the knowledge here are a few examples of knowledge good, evil, shame, / lilith could have temped eve with the fruit from the tree of life, but in doing so, they would become immortal. “the sin eve passed on” / from then till know we think of eve, as her actions created original sin. hence the passing of the cross to eve’s shoulders. as now since then have all been born with “original sin” cheers to you health / i edited this photo to not make the model perfect looking, as i was portraying a sin(a yellowing effect as when health issues arise from excess causes our body’s to change) of excess “gluttony” . as every time before this i have seen it done with food. i wanted to portray it different, as one needs food to live, but the intake of alcohol and drugs and cigarettes, are all harmful, yet some do in excess. so i wanted to take something that we did not need to survive on to live, to use in the photo for “gluttony”. “prides heavy vail” / quite simply i was trying to portray pride in this photo as a sin, showing the weight of pride with the head piece /vail. “the price” / simply choosing fame over faith, and i could elaborate for days on this one! “clear” / hands in the cross position to portray ones choice, sin, and sacrifice, for one to place others in front of god.trying to convey the lack in faith and the overwhelming obsession with those they seek out to be more important than god/ faith. “reach” / the position of being cornered, with no way out. with failed attempts of escape. “to shed some light on the idea” / to simply put it, the light bulb represents ideas and as it is high and in her mouth, / and the pride sharing the ideas. but at the same time a small element in thinking hers is above all others. these are just a few of our statement pieces. but i have to really congrats jo, as her, convey the point, of really equivocating her meaning.

Next week will see the opening of Mirrors, an art exhibition that’s about more than just pretty pictures on a gallery wall… / Supporting Melbourne based charity The Butterfly Foundation it seeks to raise funds & awareness surrounding the complex issues of Eating Disorders & Body Image. In a broader sense, it’s also very much about Expression though art & how powerful a platform art can be… whether that be through personal expression or in creating art that conveys a message or inspires others. Please visit the blog to read more about the aims Mirrors seeks to reflect. Many of you will know i’ve been heavily involved in putting together this exhibition, alongside founding Director, Rhiannon Bulley. / A large part of that has been selecting artists whose work somehow spoke to the issues we were dealing with… In the most part, artists who convey strong, positive images of beauty, inside & out. The support of artists here on Red Bubble has been phenomenal, with works coming from right around the globe… i am so grateful & i know i speak for all involved in Mirrors. Gracing the walls of the Mori Gallery will be: Karin Taylor / Karin has so generously donated the framed original of her inspirational painting, Hidden Treasure. / Cynthia Lund Torroll / A print of Cia’s latest beautiful work, And The Day Came is in the air on it’s way to Sydney as we speak! / Bec Winnel / Bec has so kindly sent us one of her sublime feminine portraits, a framed original yet to be revealed! Below is her latest stunner on RB, Silk Cocoon / Caitlin Shearer / Caitlin has created a stunning new painting especially for Mirrors, you’ll have to wait to see that one, in the meantime, Immaculate , is just that! / “Steph Granshaw”: http://www.redbubble.com/people/stephg / Stephs gorgeous drawing Baby Blue landed in my hands all the way from Thailand just yesterday & is being beautifullly framed as we speak! / Mimi Yoon / Who is rushing a print of her gorgeous work, wear me wear you all the way from the U.S to Sydney, right as we speak! / AWarr / AWarr’s Beautiful Anonymous series caught my attention the moment i saw it, seemingly speaking right to the heart of one aspect of what Mirrors is all about, a new BA piece has been created especially for Mirrors, BA- Weightless is a hint at it’s direction. / Remus Grecu / Remus created 3 paintings for an award-winning Anti Anorexia campaign in Europe & has very kindly allowed us to display prints of the series as well as the video you can view here / A special mention to the lovely Pip Gerard whose journal alerted me to Remus’ work. So this is a MASSIVE thankyou to all of the amazing artists here who have so generously supported this project, it means such a great deal to me. There are also a number of other artists from right around Australia donating work, as well as submissions from the public & a number of pieces from in-hospital Art Therapy programs. For those of you in the Sydney region Mirrors opens this Wednesday, 14th October 6-8PM at: / Mori Gallery / 168 Day St / Darling Harbour / If you can’t make it to the opening night, don’t worry there is plenty of time, with the exhibtion running from the 15th-26th October. The issues Mirrors looks at affect all of our lives one way or another… whether it be as directly as in personal experience or that of friends or family… or from a distance in a more general sense. / We’d love you to invite friends & family & it’s easily done here I also just need to add one more little thankyou to Karin for kindly posting about Mirrors last week… Between co-ordinating the exhibition & finishing my own painting for it, my intention to post this much earlier was a little way-laid! / There were also a small number of you whom i know really would have loved to contribute but for one reason or another were unable to. I appreciate the in principle support many of you have expressed to me privately just as much :) Hope to see some of you at Mori on Wednesday!!! Xxx Sarah Opening Night / Photo Gallery
