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.

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.

yes, the artworks and your quilts I'm sure are a different sort of diary....holding so much time, emotions, phases of life. The moments recorded in the textures, the colors, the feeling between fingers...:)
