PARADE! The Spaces We Fill .. How We Roll.. Small Metal Sculptures
I have been thinking about Schrodinger’s Cat and what Bruce Lee said about Flowing Like Water… How water will take the shape of anything.. like a Tea Pot or a glass, yet still remain water.. These two thoughts connect in the mind …. are we a river or a tea cup ? .. in a universe of water is there water..? Musing on emptiness.. running on empty .. It’s how we roll !

“Wind up toy”
“I am my son, my mother, my father,I am born of myself
my own flesh sucked..And someone squeezed my heart
to make me go through my number. I was a wind-up toy
someone had dropped wound up into a world already
running down The world had been going on a long time already but it made no difference It was new it was like new I saw it shining and it shone in the sun and it spun in the sun and the skein it spun was pure light . My life was made of it , made of the skeins of light…”
From Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s poem ‘True Confessional’
