Bookmarks
By Artist Cecilia Goett
Little pieces
of the "Paintings that Made Me"
These bookmarks are little pieces of larger paintings that Cecilia painted in the beginning of her art career.
She considers these paintings, "The paintings that made me" ,the most important of her life, for they are the stepping stones to the artworks she is creating today.
Cecilia considered these paintings “failed attempts” to their original purpose of becoming coherent artworks that brought joy to people’s homes, so they where un-stretched, rolled and placed in a corner of her art studio.
She longed to give them a new purpose and the idea of a bookmark emerged.
Their new purpose is to inspire us to be courageous, and remind us that life is a journey where you will fail, learn, grow and change and that is OK.
A heartfelt message is written in the back of the bookmarks in the form of intentions, non-religious prayers, and positive affirmations.
