Another note, the next piece.
Body Parts
I located only a few journal notes written on carving the “Body Parts” sculpture, although I do consider it to be a major component in the “Shaping of Awareness” group. As mentioned earlier, I was not aware at the time how significant a role these pieces would play in this exploration of the intuitive. I would have written more if I had been aware of that significance.
The wood for this sculpture first came to my attention when a neighbor mentioned that there was to be some land clearing nearby and that there was a combined wood-and -metal piece that might be of interest. I wandered by the location and immediately recognized that the wood was destined for the sculpting studio.
Still cleaning up the surface, dealing with the roots.
Roots
Sometimes lying on the surface.
Sometimes just below the surface.
Sometimes going deep below the surface.
All bringing sustenance to the tree.
Roots being a conduit of tree’s nutrient source,
and its foundation.
I am fascinated with roots that intertwine with rock.
I am amazed at the profound meanings to be interpreted from within this piece. I feel a deepening appreciation for the piece.
I am grateful of my opportunity to witness this creative unfolding. I feel that with each piece comes more of my creative unfolding.
