I have a friend visiting tomorrow from Florida for a long weekend, so I am in the process of cleaning up the studio to serve as a guest room. Since my mother moved across the country to greener pastures some months ago, I have now in my possession (and feel the weight of) all of the things I have kept throughout my life, from a koala puppet named Timothy to the first book I made at the age of six.
I had several unopened boxes I had been avoiding for as long as possible, and today I dug out this piece from circa 2004.

It was squashed, and the wires had gone a bit rusty, but I managed to reshape it. Curiously enough, I cooked octopus for the first time last night (with great results). The design of an octopus - with its perfectly laid out tentacles and suckers - is far more elegant than this piece, but it was easy to draw a connection.

I still have a lot more to unpack (but that won't be happening today). I'm curious to see what else I have held on to.
Last nights din-din looks Beautifully put together! But not very appetizing!! Lol, How did it taste!?
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you, Val.
DeleteIt tasted like the ocean. Salty, smooth and lovely. You should try it sometime.
