hi...

DID.... survior... "artwork"...

I am not artistic... but have always needed to find a way to express my feelings...in a "physical" medium...

My current project... is not made by me... but a search for a wind chime.. to be hung... inside... over my pub table... that over looks the tree... where my squirrels are...

The wood chime... needs to me made of a very rich.. wood... dark... and have tones... deep... light.. and all inbetween... the richness of the wood... represents me... the host... and the tones... inbetween... represent... my different alters... symbolic.. for me... for the wonder and the joy.. of being DID....

My second project..... I am looking for an antique mirror... oval in shape... with rich dark wood...
I then want to take the mirror... to a stained glass place... and have them cut... out all but a rim... about an inch... in depth.... so... there is just a hollow... center...
then... I will take the remaining pieces... and break/cut them... into smaller pieces... forming... like a puzzle... and use.. leading - like in stained glass.. to fit it back into the mirror rim....(it will be a puzzle..trying to fill in gaps..and select the right pieces of mirror)..

The finished piece... represents.. me.... the solid piece... that is the rim... represents,, me the host... and.... the pieces... represent my alters... and the leading.. represents... the co-consiousness.. that has happened for me...

This.. piece... represents... "RECOVERY"... and that will be it's name...because... co-consiousness... is as far as I am going....
though my friends IRL... would never understand... my need to do this...it.. the "doing" is also... an step in recovery...
