Letting Go, a piece of me moves on

[avad]

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.

Where is the piece being installed in NYC?

Also, I love the detail image here. It actually makes it possible to see the 3D aspect to the piece a little better.

Congratulations!

i say you've done well :) yeah i ask the same, where in NY? i hope in williamsburg, i was there last year, loved it, lots of great galleries.
your works remind me of paintings i did a long time ago using a mix of cotton and kids glue on the surface, creating lumps here and there, then painting over it pretty much the same style. but that was way amateurish. just experiments.
i think you should make your works more and more aggressive, more threatenning, more rust, in time. that's just a little wish i make whilst i observe the image on the screen. don't know, the hostility of nails? males me want to see more and more heavy duty rusting metal. a canvas made entirely of interlocked nails, or something more.
don't mind these observations, they are entirely spontaneous ideas created out of having nothing better to do on a friday night :)
good luck with the show. and to not miss your work? make new one :) (yeah i know it doesn't work

I understand about missing pieces you've worked on - I've felt the same about patchwork quilts I've made - although of course they are meant to be used.
