Blogs are so cool that way!<BR/>I view my own art not so much in terms of self-expression, but as dialogue...I suppose between the self and the Self.<BR/>Anyway, I have a son who is majoring in computer engineering...his mind and psyche just may work a bit like yours does....if he ever did anything as out front and expressive as you are doing (and as beautiful), I would be very, very happy....

While I love the frantic quality of some of your other pieces, the relative stillness and quiet of this piece has a real feeling of peace and serenity. It breathes. I'll watch its progress with interest. Lisa, I really admire your work and have enjoyed reading your blog so much.

I love the patterning in your work but would never have associated it with the artist statement you just posted...had I not read it.<BR/>We are both revealing things about ourselves that may not be obvious to the viewer. Why is that? Could it be that the medium itself doesn't convey these revelations, as you suggested. <BR/>Glad you told the story behind the "E" shape. Now I will see the work in a new way.<BR/>My "Zen" approach isn't obvious either but I am not sure I know another way to work. I appreciate so much your comments on the Earth Strata series...plan on continuing that series indefinitely. Maybe there is more of me in this work.<BR/>Still I am a fool for beautiful patterning and your work does that for me whether I see the artist revealing herself or not.

There's more tension, but at the same time more balance in the second version.<BR/><BR/>I also enjoy reading your explanations of your imagery. I like the way you re-worked this.
