As I was photographing some new pieces today, I realized that how the light falls and changes the look of my sculptures, so it is also with how we look at life, the people around us, the things they represent. Move the piece around and look at it from a different angle, in different light - and it can be either lovely or unpleasant.
So many times we take one quick glance and make decisions about things.
Do we often stop to ask what it is that is effecting us? Are we not influenced by how the
light is falling? Or the
angle we are seeing it from?
When we are impatient and react negatively to something, how often do we ask what shadow it casts in us to make us dislike it?
The way the light falls, the shadows that it creates, internal or external, these so often make us love (or dislike ) what we see in others.
Every time before open house exhibitions-where ever it is, Los Angeles, Ramat Hasharon, Pardes Hana - there is this incredible mess that seems like things are never going to find their way together into a coherent presentation. Its the mess before it all comes together, hopefully.... I look forward to that moment on Wednesday night - Thursday morning, when everything will be spic and span ( looks like I will be cleaning myself...) marked and tagged, everything properly placed, and I can see the whole picture of what I have been working on.
