this collecting, arranging and waiting.
Why would anyone pickup a couple of skeletal seed pods?
Because they whispered something to me
in that moment.
They sat around the office/studio for weeks.
A few other objects were gathered around them.
They got lost. Because they’re so light. They’d just blow away.
Then found. Waiting. I think. To be embedded in encaustic medium.
Then last evening, after completing
Encaustic Painting No. 3, Life layered over our years…
Leica M, 60 mm Macro Elmarit-R
the low, setting sun light flowed through the West window
whispering in harmony with the whispering seed pods
as they wait for their final rest.
