the last month of the year is always transitional for me. a shape shifter. maybe this year seems more so. i will be in and out of coma and on and offline without schedule.. .a few things will be put in the shop simply because they are still hanging around in my head and i will finish them and move on. i am not sure about the shop thing going forward.
the one thing i am sure of is i need build on what i am doing... and for this reason i have chosen to change the shape of my focus. i enjoyed the dot, the range of its natural occurrence and its playful dance among friends. but next year i have chosen the square, the shape that has no existence in nature, the shape that defines human intervention and purpose. i think it represents structure and building and frame of reference. i like its relationship to woven cloth. i think it could be a symbolic metaphor for making. so i will slowly let the dots out of my system and let the square creep in. this morning. a small ceremony on woven gridded linen with walnut squares. and a bit of magic. for now they can be square dots.
