"The artist is a translator; one who has learned how to pass into her own language the languages gathered from stones, from birds, from dreams, from the body, from the material world, from the invisible world, from sex, from death, from love. A different language is a different reality."
Jeanette Winterson, Art Objects

"There is strong shadow where there is much light."
 Goethe

Consider carefully the unexpected, the unanticipated vision. Recognize the gifts; collect and plan. Form and fire the clay. Fit and piece together. Explore choice. Value failure. Embrace change. Discard, start again. Trust process.

Invite transformation. Here is sustenance for the spirit.

"Whatever revivifies balance is what is essential. That is home."
C.P. Estés
