Rodin and the Act of Creating

[Auguste Rodin] profoundly changed the language of sculpture by playing with accident and emphasizing the act of creating rather than completing a work of art. Rodin favored fragmentation and recombination as the principal expression of the significance he attached to change and transformation as the keys to creativity.

Layered Lives

Co workers: Friends. Women. Man. Mothers. Father. Wives. Husband. Daughters. Son. Sisters. Brother. Teachers. Students. Seekers. Caregivers. Artists. Organizers. Movement Lovers.

Each a layer of our lives. Moving from surface to just underneath to buried deep within. Never lost. Always present. Exchanges between each other coax one to move through toughened, sinewy barriers - to resurface. In that moment we become Exacting Individuals.

Order

Upholding law and order, at least in common parlance, is the responsibility of the police, not of authors, architects, artists, designers, cooks, doctors, children, or fathers and mothers. Creating and recognizing order is, however, an elemental human need, since the eye is an order-loving organ. Record the patterns and order you find in your [life].
