OM? I'm intrigued by the title. I find this 'arrangement' with its spiralling feeling very satisfying. It feels as though it could be converted into a statue of some sort. I can picture it in varying types f metal. The glimpse f the sea would be tricky though.
Om is a Hindu mantric word thought to be a complete expression of Brahman and interpreted as having three sounds representing Brahma or creation, Vishnu or preservation, and Siva or destruction, or as consisting of the same three sounds , representing waking, dreams and deep sleep, along with the following silence which is fulfillment. Also Aum, a word that may be more familiar to you.

JANUS - looking backwards and forwards is a Janus trait - for me a way to record the "in between thought", whether in retrospect, or as a notion for the future.
I make original prints, currently etchings. I sometimes write and take photographs. I am inspired by what I see and read.
Although postings are chronologically recorded by date and time in this protocol, the images exhibited, often seen in different stages of production, are from another time. So, with each new posting, earlier postings can undergo revision or amplification as will be noted, or requested.
The addition of a SNAPSHOTS Blog and a VIRGINIA WOOLF Blog are included because my different interests tend to influence what I do as an artist. There will be a Family Blog, too, for the same reason.
