I’ve been thinking about the idea of coincidence vs. miracle for a few days now.  Most people will frequently dismiss a serendipitous happening as a mere coincidence.  I on the other hand, believe in everyday miracles and love their occurrence in even the smallest moments. Like running late for a meeting and magically finding a parking spot right in front of the place you need to meet, making you on time.

So this morning I was thrilled by the message from our WIM (Women in Motion) leader Wanda, because it is helpful in tying my thoughts together. She sent us a link to a motivational slide show. The first screen includes a quote by Vivian Greene, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain!”

Tomorrow as I head to my New York art debut, I plan to be mindful of the miracles and keep moving forward.

Before leaving I began my exploration process for completing the assemblage that started with the sculpted head (now fired).  I decided to sculpt hands and feet. The gesture of the hands were inspired by Byzantine Icon figures.These 5 sculpted pieces will be combined with found objects to convey a narrative concept.

This is all pretty raw. I’m not sure how this will all come together. We can share in the discovery together.
