Dip into this one-
Imagine a ferris wheel, all lit up against the night.
Somehow this image came to me yesterday as a part of a friends
drawing- I was thinking family at the time, because he mentioned it
as a theme for his piece.
I took what I liked from that- and worked with a challenge- to depict
'family'.That piece of mine was quite disjointed in the sense of process.
(Coming apart ?versus coming together?)
Today I played with the image again. More along the lines of a
"Daisy ferris wheel" and then the whole thing took off with a life of its
own !
I started wondering if there was a ferris wheel full of family
and friends- how did that feel? did I have a whole wheel full of people in my
life I could trust ? How much could I trust ? would it be sustained ?
I won't really be able to trace all of the thoughts and feelings from that
accurately - but it brought me to draw a picture of a 'Daisy ferris wheel'-
and thus I discovered how strong and evolving the trust was...How beautiful-
How the colors and lines worked together- how each knew its place -and job
in the whole...
There were prayers and tears all along in that experience- and it seemed
important to share. Blessings, Nia
