::grateful connections::
sculpture
wood, twine, paper, ballpoint pen
sculpture from the Count Your Blessings
PYLES art show
we asked people to write what they were grateful for in that very moment. it becomes another sculpture, bound in time. tied to the moment of people gratitude and each individual moment their blessings were written.
each pruned branch tied by twine. creating connections like memories or events. in our lives. together.
here it blows in the wind, shaking its existence as time marches toward it.
for nothing exists until it does. then we praise what holds us into ourselves.
thank you to everyone who contributed to this living sculpture.
with the biggest love.
