The absence of color changes the meaning of the form. I am hovering on the verge of something which I cannot quite define...something not-quite-right and more than a bit un-nerving for its lack of clarification. Like eyes on the back of my neck; it prickles. It is hiding in plain sight. The slightest shift of light or color will reveal the change that is coming. For all its incessant inklings; I recognize it. I have been on this part of the circle before. ~slk

"I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless." ~ Bette Davis, actress
