Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change – this is the rhythm of living.

~Bruce Barton

Art, music, violence, fear, words, confusion; all things flow into and out of us. Thought is a neverending stream, sometimes cold and deep and logical, sometimes ragged white water. We are the source and we are the mouth and we are an anonymous bend along the way. We may try to dam the path and stem the flow but in time the flow wears all things down. The rhythm continues; the flow will go on.

    You’ve been in my rss feed for quite some time but for some reason I’ve never commented – I just adore your work. The shapes are stunning and the level of detail you get with bits of paper is mind-blowing.
