Thanks so much for stopping by.<br /><br />Babs: A quartet; thanks!<br /><br />Barry: Yes, these do feel complete. Perhaps the expression was at a stopping point more than the physical works.<br /><br />Jacky: Thank you! The writing was an important part of the process of making these pieces. <br /><br />ian: Infinite recursion – That’s great – thanks.<br /><br />Elizabeth: Yes! That’s part of it isn’t it? Old walls have such stories. I just love Buster. For anyone wondering who Buster is, Elizabeth has a blog written by her puppy Buster. It is always fun to go see what Buster is up to.<br /><br />San: Oh, I like that. “Get our hands dirty with that truth.” And yes, I feel the connections never end – they just change form.<br /><br />Nancy: Thank you!Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-11854914294090569312009-05-16T23:07:00.000-07:002009-05-16T23:07:00.000-07:00Lovely pieces, Leslie!Lovely pieces, Leslie!Nancy Natalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325421420384484035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-2569696289561196572009-05-16T06:19:00.000-07:002009-05-16T06:19:00.000-07:00"Just beyond the language."
