The letter Hay featured has the sound of breathing out...an effortless sound. This letter begins many holy and special words. My favorite is the call 'Heneini' which means 'Here I am". A letting go, a complete availability to the one who calls.
The copper sheets for the wings was once a heart shape in an art book I made several years ago. It was great to re-purpose the heart into wings.The small straight stitches in the bottom section has two small x's...my way of marking my place in 'Here I am'. I placed a close up view...I seem to go from perfect stitching to loose machine stitching/drawing...trying for the ancient scribe...the found fragment. I have one more letter to go and I will have completed seven Hebrew letters in this scribe series...it has been a great experience and a huge lesson in trusting my process.
Happy Spring! Drought or no drought, I'll enjoy this beautiful dry spring and savor the flowers still able to bloom. I'll use grey water and enjoy some potted color plants too!
This series is really striking, Mary Ann... I can feel the depth of meaning in the way you express the pieces/letters... they have the essence of the sacred.
