FSOJ Week 27: Bonsai Ring
FSOJ Week 27: Bonsai Ring
Working sculptural
Hoping to find my centre
Grow from inner peace
I realized this week that I feel spiritually drained and in need of refilling. Right now, everything just seems like such a struggle.
I need to get back to creating for the sheer joy of it.
I was at a gallery picking up work today - a depressing event in itself - and I looked at work on display for a show opening tomorrow. I never did finish the piece I wanted to enter into the show, and seeing the work on display, don't think I would have gotten accepted in any case... I mean, the creativity of the pieces was terrific, and I'm wondering how these artists conceive these ideas??? I find myself feeling really frustrated and uncreative looking at these things...
I'm not really sure how I came upon the idea of doing a series of rings based on bonsai trees, but it has something to do with doing work that is more "arty".
So, a first attempt:
And a shot with me wearing it:
