avad | Letting Go, a piece of me moves on

Well, that's it. My artwork 'Prayers' was taken in packing cardboards from my house today by the shippers. It will be crated and sent to NYC for installation Monday. I touched up the edges yesterday, looking at it horizontally...the light catching the nails in a different way. *sigh* Well, that's that. It goes onward to its new life, new home. Others will see it and touch it. Which is good. But I will miss it.*sigh*. a lot. It is time.
We put up 'The Writing Ritual' in its place in the living room. The room changes a bit...it is interesting...fitting,too, with my thoughts of the war, confusion, humanity and prayer.
It is raining so steadily today. Grey light.Quiet. I feel slowed, and pensive.
I must gather myself up and get to work on the new pieces.Here are pics of The Writing Ritual.

whoa. that's some powerful stuff. we're innundated with symbols, suffused and saturated with symbol-systems, written language, and advertisements. a timeless educational vehicle for verbal/symbolisms. funny that it seems so amazingly ineffective. i hold a sneaking suspicions that most people (especially the "educated") are barely literate...

but why limit oneself to text, or even visual representation?

"a picture is worth a thousand words", a great old adage. but it doesn't even scratch the surface of your work's volume. hammering down the ineffable, extension into a bazillion dimensions, where a nail is worth a thousand pictures.

them's magic nails! congrats on your transition. *sniff* for the old, *yay* for the new!

All necessary, methinks,for the learning, but I am certainly glad to be on this side of those past experiences, looking back..:)
