Running into the new year I scanned back through the photos I took in 2012. Images catch in my hair like strong fingers and memories of objects I have wanted to make since I was 16, 26, 36 and 46. It has been a year of revisiting ideas through bowls and plates. I am looking forward to 2013 and how it brings new twists turns to projects and ideas.
"i am running into a new year
and the old years blow back
like a wind
that i catch in my hair
like strong fingers like
all my old promises and
it will be hard to let go
of what i said to myself
about myself
when i was sixteen and
twenty six and thirtysix
even thirtysix but
i am running into a new year
and i beg what i love and
i leave to forgive me"
