Discovering subtleties
Of rare explicit crudity..
Yet, exquisite reward in kind.
Joy indeed overlaps all
-uplifting, unpeeling stratums
of wintery weary days
lending to separate light inside,
knowing no boundaries.
I shut my eyes in order to perceive
.....reaching, seeing.

Hey Ho, new update on 'tree of life' missive

Having just completed stage one today and I have to acknowledge that I am well pleased with the whole organic flow to this piece.

Stage two is to replicate the first stage as a root system reflecting what lies above. Now, a new and advanced evolution in that I will use two clear thick piece of Perspex where I will split the two forms. In between the Perspex, I will collage with leaves, (both real and constructed); photo's and found papers with some sketching too.

Both branches and root systems will be adorned accordingly and once I have finished 'drawing with wire', I will add pieces that will inform the observer of my particular story
From the outset of primary drawings, my personal engagement with the work involved has been imbrued with a soft but grounded spirituality and at times I have been completely unaware of all other goings on around me as I become more and more connected...one of the most central points for me as the artisan I am evolving toward.

My pictures speak for themselves as they denote my sheer bonded delight at the mastery of new skills along with my expressive imagination. To some observers, I suspect that my unashamedly abstract approach will confound, confuse and cause conflict as to the pieces’ contextual home...each to their own...eh?

I should have this piece finished by Friday, but here are a few other pics to illustrate the flotsam and jetsam change and/or flow. In this case, form does not follow function, which is important to any designer/creator who has a drive for individual and not derivative.
