About Me
- Rima Staines
- Rima Staines is an artist using paint, wood, word, music, animation, clock-making, puppetry & story to attempt to build a gate through the hedge that grows along the boundary between this world & that. Her gate-building has been a lifelong pursuit, & she hopes to have perhaps propped aside even one spiked loop of bramble (leaving a chink just big enough for a mud-kneeling, trusting eye to glimpse the beauty there beyond), before she goes through herself.
Always stubborn about living the things that make her heart sing, Rima has lived on wheels a few times in her life. She's currently rooted in mossy South Devon, halfway between moor and sea.
Rima’s inspirations include the world & language of folktale; faces of people who pass her on the street; folk music & art of Old Europe & beyond; peasant & nomadic living; magics of every feather; wilderness & plant-lore; the margins of thought, experience, community & spirituality; & the beauty in otherness.
Crumbs fall from Rima’s threadbare coat pockets as she travels, & can be found collected here, where you may join the caravan.
Would also love to see the bibliography!!!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed this.....and all your artwork.
Thank you for sharing it.
Rima, this is just wonderful. I don't visit The Hermitage as frequently as I ought or would like to, but I'm always surprised, amazed, and delighted. I'm going to have to link this post on my resources for the manuscript illumination project my art and design history students do. I don't imagine they'll read the whole thing, but if they do they'll be rewarded as I have been. Thank you
ReplyDeleteYour work, both here, at The Hemitage, and for Dark Mountain have give me the boost needed to face a challenging winter. My brain is filled with imagery from The Edge.

Hi, Rima. I, like everyone else I see who comments on your work, am inspired by what you do. I really liked this dissertation for many reasons, including my obsession with the Christian/Pagan historical overlap. Have you ever heard 'The Christians and the pagans' by Dar Williams? If not, I hope it makes you smile like it does me. :) I would love to go to any gallery openings or displays of your art, as well. Will you have any in the month of October, when I will be in the UK? Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteКакая замечательная работа, иллюминированные манускрипты меня просто завораживают.
