Ahhh -- and the evolution of this Port Townsend Installation

'Hands of Wonder'
on the grounds of Hui Noeau Visual Arts Center, Maui

                                                                                                                                                       In the beginning.... well, It's hard to say where something actually begins. For me perhaps in placing white gloves in the form of singular words on the ground in natural environments. Then wanting to "bring the outside - inside"... And thoughts of the way a stone dropping in calm water creates expanding ripples. Imagining words have their own ripple effect.  Creating words out of white cotton gloves which are generally used to handle valuables with extra care.

Artist friend, Margaret Lindsey agreed to the idea of creating a window installation together. (2 years ago, created the cloud photos for the window AND the one who painted the window wall with the current skyscape) 
We traded ideas and images via email for weeks before she arrived.  She sent me the drawing below in response to my words and idea of the ripple effect.  After her arrival we continued with the evolution of ideas and materials.

Below image is the creative result from our thoughts, ideas, conversations and materials.

Ahh...

Between sky and earth,

Touching.

Hand to ground

Colors to wall

Letters to sound

Word to image

Meaning to mind.

Choice of perception

for this place

  we call home.
