I like to hibernate in the still of Winter, going within, as if I had spun my own little cocoon in the Fall, contemplating the stillness with anticipation. The chrysalis waits quietly in a safe and quiet place. Feelings of warmth and comfort engage my mind with activities that are still awaiting birth. Thoughts waiting to crystallize, to morph into something new. Sleepless nights bring fruition when I am given the stillness of night. Thoughts begin to come forth and I am beckoned by the call of my studio to come downstairs for a visit. It was just this week, when I was unable to sleep that I answered to the call. I couldn't resist. Sitting in the stillness of my studio, I began opening drawers, looking at parts that were once part of a whole and began to assemble "Wally". I just love that instinctual part of me that is drawn to certain elements that seemingly beg to be whole again. And so, it was this week that the birth of Wally came into being. Born on January 15, 2009-MLK day. I thought of naming him Martin but I rather like Wally. Happy Birthday Wally and Happy New Year.
