This is my day … pack, peel, and stick… repeat. This is the day I get to do all the international mailing and distribution packs for the newest issue Fall 2012: Rhythm and Flow. It involves packing envelopes and clear mailers, sealing them, sticking on the labels and doing this over and over again. The repetition gets one into a nice rhythm well-accompanied by some good sing-a-long music.<\/p>\n

Which of course brings us to this issue’s theme and the desire to find something to counter the regular rhythm of my work. Here is a just amazing wall piece by those great innovators Ford and Forlano called “Pebbles Galaxy”.<\/p>\n

There is definitely repetition of all kinds here — color, form, motif and texture. But the rhythm is utterly random, quite child-like in its placement yet reminiscent of rocks at the bottom of a river eddy — reminding us that there is an underlying reason for every arrangement in nature and created by a child’s hand. The caption says it has a removable pin. It is 13″ high so I’m thinking there could have been multiple pins, a pendant, a pair of earrings and a belt buckle if they worked it right. I really do like the idea of wall art that you can take pieces of to wear and share outside the place it is housed.<\/p>\n

Well, for now, I have but another issue to share with you, to send off beyond TPA headquarters. I do hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you!<\/p>\n
