I started with the image of a person kneeling in supplication, but I didn’t know to whom or what. What evolved was different from what I would have imagined if I’d set out with an agenda. Time has been on my mind in several ways, one being how wishes intersect with the reality that some goals are bounded by time. It was also, recently, All Souls Day, a reminder that death is inevitable, and that eventually that we must bow to it. The year is coming to an end — the death of 2005. Not sure why there is a city on a hill under attack. The war (I know, which one?) has been on my mind lately too. Definitely a darker subject than yesterday. What I like about AEM so far is the freedom to be open to what happens.
