A topic like "vacant" reminds me of clutter clearing (via feng shui or vastu) and the principle of clearing out to allow new ideas and energies in.
And so it can be in mental life: "emptiness" as something beautiful, a vacancy just prior to a flood of new movement and life.
So here is my 5 by 7 linocut, handprinted both on "empty" and "lively" paper. Actually, the "lively" paper is from a 1961 AA handbook with perfect-sized maps for explorative printmaking! Have a great week! :)

yes! that's a beautiful thought, and such a positive interpretation of the word. gorgeous work; was this one done at the farmers market as well? ours is just about to shut down for the winter.
interesting contrast...the face is more imprinted by life (map) in the second version.
I love the way you've done this, with the face on the left open to ideas and the one on the right filled with ideas - it's very clever and works so well.
what a wonderful explanation to the word! the paper with the maps is perfect for your print
Cool interpretation Nicola. Its a brilliant solution and looks terrific.
I wonder were she will be going as she is filled with new roads and direction's .... Nice, reminds me of the queen of heart.
