The patchwork of life.
A few of the marks on this page made me think of stitching, which led me to think of patchwork. All our lives are a patchwork of pieces. Although our life fabric may contain some pieces with the same pattern - when we have some similar experiences - the size and shape and the way they are put together is unique to us. There might be parts of your life that you wish didn't happen, but each piece adds to the overall cloth, and the dark parts only serve to contrast with the light parts. When you look at a piece of art, it is the play of contrasts that brings interest, so don't regret those dark parts, but also remember to celebrate the light.
Your patchwork is stunning, Tracy. I'm just loving all the variations in line, colour and mark-making. And isn't that what life is all about? You've really outdone yourself here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Win. They say variety is the spice of life, don't they?
