The moments series:
Our lives are built up of so many moments. 
Often, it feels repetitive, continuous, ongoing...

Yet, a path, a structure becomes built. Those moments are actually all a bit different, the variations creating what we might not have seen. We’re too close to them. One does not always know which piece of life changes what, and how much it will do so.

---
This piece is more airy than the others, there’s a greater amount of variation within the patina, and it has a flexibility that makes it almost tapestry-like.  
Its orderliness isn’t really all that orderly. While working on it, it was a continual push-pull between elements of sculptural/bas-relief planning, organized chaos, pattern, happenstance, and discovery.
All of which is apropos of life.
