not so linear ...



the thing about experience is that it feels linear

but

i suspect experiences are like memories

and

don't follow a line at all...

they are multi-layered and collapse in on each other.. and concertina out in different configurations when we remember them...in different ways depending in why we remember them ...











so it is with this journey cloth ....

i remember making this section and thinking about the many crosses in the city of paris

and the many footsteps i had left there


















along with the multitude of layers the city has
and the circles i searched for
and found
how all seemed old
and pulsing with life .......

  1. lyers are a wonderful metaphor for journey, an i love the way cloth feels when it is layered and stitched.

  3. I think you are right about memories. Love the edges and stitches.

  4. yeah, memories, those constant companions on our journey to make new memories, the edges and underpinning things that determine our path or existence.. those selective thoughts you choose to keep, and the ones you don't...
