Meaning behind the art: Feeling like I�m in the Ebb of an Ebb and Flow cycle a bit disconnected and wonky inside I walk in the woods. This morning there was a fog and with such a warm February it has me unsure about what it going on seasonally. I see the hue of purplish, pink and brown from the wild berry branch and my own anticipation of spring is imagined. There is this ugliness all around as the last season�s growth hangs over piles up. The imperfect of this season�s timing is just the way it should be�.no questions just acceptance of it all. The wood panel that I selected without knowing it is a bit off in size. I think one side is longer than the other, this is what lead me to work with the piece and it�s imperfections and that�s when I started coming outside the square substrate and adding the sticks and thread. Ideas came all day after the walk, between doing dishes, backing some bread and painting on my tipi�I�m kind of glad that the breaks of time allow for ideas to flow in and help me work with the piece.
