And, you no doubt know that I sent four of them up to Rubber City Prints in Akron, Ohio. Three of them sold there, and two sold at Ascension Fine Arts, so I had to scramble to make more. If you already know about all that, or don’t care to, just skip the links to those posts.

Thoughts on Transformation




We must all obey the great law of change. It is the most powerful law in nature. ~Edmund Burke
In Hinduism, Shiva is a deity who represents transformation. Through destruction and restoration, Shiva reminds us that endings are beginnings, and that our world is constantly undergoing a cycle of birth, death and rebirth. ~Karen Salmansohn
CHANGE by Kathleen Jessie Raine
Said the sun to the moon,
You cannot stay.
Change
Says the moon to the waters,
All is flowing.
Change
Says the fields to the grass,
Seed-time and harvest,
Chaff and grain.
You must change,
Said the worm to the bud,
Though not to a rose,
Petals fade
That wings may rise
Borne on the wind.
You are changing
said death to the maiden, your wan face
To memory, to beauty.
Are you ready to change?
Says the thought to the heart, to let her pass
All your life long
For the unknown, the unborn
In the alchemy
Of the world’s dream?
You will change,
says the stars to the sun,
Says the night to the stars.
It is almost banal to say so yet it needs to be stressed continually: all is creation, all is change, all is flux, all is metamorphosis. ~Henry Miller
I just love all of these Sharmon. Monoprinting is a real love of mine- you are amazing.
Thank you so much, Terry! I think monoprinting is kind of addictive – I love it! Thanks for visiting!
