color is the most important way to show feelings
remain true to color and you will remain true to feelings
how do you know when you are are on or off?
each colorhs a meaning in this life

I can tell how I feel by the colors I picked
I can tell how I feel by what I did
but at the time I do not know
I want to keep the art part innocent

I am doing
my work is trying to be connected with nature
like a natural color wood wire they are connected
natural color-- what is it?
different material
colors are feelings of nature
wire is struggle
structure frame
use the wire as a drawing tool
soemtimes
wire is fence some wire is safe
protective protect themselves
complicaed sometines it is a prison
some times a process

enlightenment of Gods love
spiriual but not religion

acceptance versus change
