Stardust I can see the stars in other peoples eyes. It is said that eyes are the window into your soul. Well, somehow I can see inside; both the love and the pain. I can see it when someone has suffered. It's something deep inside. Something is hidden, but so very close. I can see fear and searching. When someone is looking for something to hold on to, there is an emptiness. I can see the lonely, the rejected, and in pain. My heart it hurts to see it, so I try to make my own eyes show the love iv'e been blessed to see. Love is like the stars shining in others eyes. I saw it in my mom's eyes as a child whenever she would come home. No matter how long, dinner or a trip. Arms outstretched, eyes twinkling waiting, loving. Still I see it now whenever I come home, still twinkling, still waiting, still loving. I see the joy in the eyes of children, eyes filled with emotion yet that spark is always there, I think it is curiosity and hope. And a love without condition that glows. My favorite thing to see as dear as my mom to me, is the love of loves. A light so bright it fills the room, it does not twinkle it shines, as bright as love can be the Holy Spirit, I can see Him there in people eyes. Yet, I don't just see it I feel it and it fills my very own soul, rushing through me like water gushing forth from a fountain. It is joy and peace. Let me give Him, let me share Him, can you see Him in my eyes. A love to shine into the pain and the loss. A love of hope, it is the stars shining in the darkness. Another thing about the darkness, it becomes beautiful when you can see the stars. Inspiration... Michelangelo Pistoletto,1962–1964, 78-3/4 x 78-3/4 x 7/8 inches, Oil, graphite on tissue paper mounted to mirror-polished stainless steel. The material and use of the mirror to create space as an integrated element to the concept is inspiring. Pandora's Box, Maryanto,2013/2015, Charcoal. This piece is a charcoal drawing which uses the installation space to create and environment within the piece. This creation of an environment as well as the large scale charcoal drawing are element i am incorporating in my own work. I'm planing on drawing a waterfall for my next piece, I think the dark rock and contrast in this image will work well for a charcoal drawing! Work in progress...
