such a treasure of a journey that these images reveal. one can almost hear the silence of thought in the room. the new touches and sensual expression going and coming through the hands. really beautiful work - you should be proud/happy/revived. safe travels.

Inspiring collection!! And we're on opposite ends - I was in Florida for two weeks.... hot and impossiby humid, especially for my constitution that doesn't mind snowshoeing in 20 degrees, didn't feel that bad when I got off the plane yesterday at 85 and not that humid. Happy re-entry to you!!
ReplyDeleteoh how fantastic - their minds must be whirling and their fingers numb. hope you have energy left.
