spirals are about continuity

The movement in the spiral is about beginning , not ending.

The spiral echoes the movement of the sun, moon, and stars.  Continual.  Continuous.  So the spirals in my work are about continuity.  About continuing on and on. 

It is life affirming work. 

Stare

Stare

It is the way to educate your eye.

Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop.

Die knowing something.

You are not here long.

Walker Evans

four noble truths

Feel discomfort about change

Sit still like a mountain 

Don’t resist 

Let it be

Buddha

Loved Better

She reminds us of the world’s dazzle. She seems to say; the world has no need to be represented - there it is, all around us, all the time.  

What the world needs is to be loved better.
