Finished patchwork punch bag last week. Thankfully I like it again! I went through I period of wondering what I done and why I'd spent so long working on something that didn't please me. Now that I can stand back and see it I like it. (Photographs to follow as my camera was playing up last week.)
It was interesting to sit back and just be with this finished thing – this thing that I started working on about two years ago. I don't think I've ever taken so long to complete a piece. It's been with me over a very tough time, and that's important. It's changed how I see it; I used to think it was a metaphor for what was happening to me, now it seems to speak of two beings (two shirts / two men). Two beings suspended in a vulnerable position …
I know what I'm going to call it now – I just need to do the maths!
