so far i have been preoccupied with color and shape in the last while. and suddenly, with the occurance of this little eye experiment, i am thinking about
context
there were a few different takes on what this might represent in its original form yesterday when i began it. actually, when i placed the orange and yellow fragments over the eye, my first thought was that i would make a flower energy....and as i typed those words, i thought....of course. i am using a Flower Essence. smile. but then, when it appeared to many to be a rooster, i paused. how interesting, and yes, i could see that, but no. it wasn't and i didn't want to be stitching a rooster, so...what to do? the first thought was to just set it aside. begin from the beginning with a different eye and try to understand what causes the interpretation of "flower" instead of rooster. a challenge. but somehow, this particular cloth with the flowerrooster wanted to continue. so here we are so far. i don't know what will be translated by the wonderful variety of Us, but it had become an image of some kind of "Sun love", whatever that means to me.
and then i began putting different bits of cloth with it. under the eye, around it, as a background, and i am now wondering about context. how will it change with different context. and also, would i want to leave it kind of open to interpretation ? it made me think of the devas they talk about at Findhorn. maybe it's a garden diva to somebody? isn't that a good thing? do i need "you" to see what i see? hmmmm.
