From Angela Cope - The World is a Town Contribution

I received this FAB contribution to The World is a Town project from Angie.   Going in Circles.

She’s right you know.   Even the world is a circle from which there is no escape.   Circles carry  iconic coded messages all of their own.  So does the world town.  Its all about a differential fit – how we see ourselves and how others see us.

We all take circuitous paths back to our beginnings to make sense of where we came from.  To look at where we are. To see where we may go  A farmer,   a thousand years ago knew the basic concepts of post modernism – and we think we invented it.   He was also working the field, even the same one described by Pierre Bourdieu.

The World is a Town for sure, with its history making full circles.

Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning wheel.  This piece moves effortlessly to her beautiful windmills of your mind artwork.  Angie's circles whirl silently in space.

O, and two artists trading cards – yip, I’m beginning to like these little blighters – TIME CONSUMING as they are!!!


Thank you Angie – your work – MAN! Its FAB J

ANGIE!  This is spectacular!  Cheryl is a lucky duck!  Though it is missing the secret ingredient: corgi hair.  I have some spare here if you ran out.
