Reflections

13"x13"x8" Alabaster and Cherry

 

To my good fortune a friend, who is a writer, saw this in progress. When it was completed, she commented on it with words far better than my own:

It's just what it says it is - reflections - the wonderful curve - of memory back onto itself.... But not perfect - you see how the two edges don't form a circle? That's because our memories are never quite what reality was, and the further from them we get, the more different they are...but they always come back to us...slightly altered in form, yes, but they continuously circle back...

It's the same with reflected images, whether fragmented or smooth, they're still only as we perceive them. It's all a part of a journey and how we see ourselves on that journey at any given time.
