i started my new work, two nights ago. sifting through the photos heather, patrick, and jenn sent my way from the reunion. cropping, adjusting color, brightness and hue. wishing i had more to choose from. i suppose, that's where the magic comes into play. making things work when i don't have everything i really need. add a little color a little texture, fabric, whatever...what nots that have some meaning...
the choice of the working title, well jennifer will give a smirk and probably laugh out loud. the dd song is really about people you thought were friends (but weren't.) this is about friends, who don't give up even across the span of time, space and emotion. as per my usual mo, i mixed a playlist on my itunes to help me work my process. music is part of my emotional intelligence. sound and vision.
this is piece is a thank you. a show of gratitude to them and to the universe. for all the things that need to be embrace for being the perfect imperfection that it is.

And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."
