revelation/epiphany

so i finally had an ephiphany after last weeks critique where paul discussed how they resembled growths and possibly fat areas where your flaws are and it made me realize how this was the jumpoff point for my work, and that these forms had to take on a life of their own celebrating their form with movement and position (still playing with gravity and light on growth) and weight. I feel as though the first few pieces were something that i had to do because of my background and way of thinking that i have become so accustomed to and not have realized and not forced my ideas into sculpture where i could not see them fit till now. Another part of this thinking is the way that jewelry lies with one flat part to the body hidden and the front on display and thinking how to get into viewing something from every direction and adding still movement to it.
