And thank you both. Omega, so glad to have outside confirmation my reluctance to post my new series isn't necessarily all that odd. I get questions asking me when I'll show it and I'm just not ready yet. I will trust my inner voice and wait until it is right for me. And thank you for the comments on the work - I love hearing what others see in my work and it gives me ways of looking at it myself. Ed - I stayed focused on that one series for many years - now that I am working on 2 I find both are benefitted by the switching back and forth. The rest and meandering are helpful.

I have a series that I have been working on for 3 years and it most likely will continue for many more. You might say that it is open ended. For me it is hard to stay focused on one direction. I need to meander on other paths and then come back. I have found that while working on a series I have to set it aside for awhile so that I can come back to it with a fresh eye and a clear mind.

It is also interesting that artists / makers combine both the love of visualising and of making because most that I know run their designing of new work alongside their making of others in the pipeline - just as you do. I very much like the colour and line combinations of the two pieces on this post. They really conjure up landscapes in the USA for me, particularly those I have travelled through in Arizona and Colorado. In Structures 54 I can just see the hazy light and the beauty of electicity or somesuch industrial lines crossing the country. Many people hate them, but in many circumstances I find such elements to be as beautiful as Christo works in the right surroundings. I look forward to seeing images of the new designs.
