Vast systems of contradictions juxtaposed with work that breathes with oppositional concepts - I like!! The point? To produce work that leaves space for a viewers to fill in blind spots. Thats what Stewart (????????) thinks anyway :-) X

DVS has a way of shaking the tree to see what will fall out :-))) - This was a successful shake for sure!  Got to go, there are trolls at my door :-) XX

And you and Marie are complete opposites in that she tends to build a work around some very basic oppositional concept = absence vs. presence. Cheryl tends to create these vast systems in a work.

Fascinating!! Did you do research on this? :-o

DVS, nope, absolutely everything was planned and controlled. 

Working on his jaw line :-)))))))))) too funny!!

Complete Control - NO NEVER!!!!! KNOT TRUE!

It's just that you, Cheryl, and now Cherry Chan always maintain you have this complete control over what you're doing with your art. And I'm always saying: The more I hear an artist proclaiming this, the more likely it is you have large blindspots about what's actually going on and what other people are seeing, thus "You can't handle the truth."

Would you like me to start it???? :-))) )X

Thank you, Cheryl, when I wrote the comment about knot language I had in the back of my mind that some Native American culture had a very refined one - yes, the Inca. Thank you for solving that mystery.

Some things Marie wrote suggested the discussion of artist's intention vs. finding meaning in the work. I would pop if I started that again. Lucky you. I DO think there are things going on in the strings Marie didn't plan or anticipate.
