Three is Company AGAIN from Marie Wintzer, Japan

[cheryl penn]

Conceptually its quite difficult to portray the words we cant say – without being obvious.  Once again though,  Marie has succeeded in subtly expressing an idea. This time, her concept is The Words Encaged.  Those words we want to express, but never do. 

The things left unsaid. Circumstances that don’t allow the verbal expression of what we would dearly love to articulate. A book format is of course the best place to begin.  Words live in there.  But what happens if the pages are sewn together, and there is no access to content? How can we tell what we mean? Certain phrases stand out in Marie’s book “The dog beneath the skin”, “constantly my questions” , “if you let me tell you”.  

The book also contains images that are sealed.  Inaccessible domains? The thoughts that daren’t  breathe.  There are always moments of beauty though.  Tiny blossoms that catch the corner of our vision,  loveliness that will never die.

And the unsaid gets complex don't you think? It puts us in knots.

and, even though things might be said in a language we understand, do we always REALLY understand?

Three's a crowd? NEVER with Marie - I doubt that a truckload would be a crowd with her :-) - its a chance/choice I'd HAVE to answer in the YES YES YES!!! 

In a similar vein to the book, what about all the information we gather during our lifetime? Do we... and - don't ask me why this changed color - I think the Spell chick took another chance :-)!!

And last but not least, on a lighter note, Marie is in the habit of making me what she calls “smallies” – there’s always an argument about that of course – I don’t think Marie MAKES smallies!  A while back I sent her a piece of Cinderella’s ball gown – it was of course an authentic piece,  found in a lost Victorian Curiosity Cabinet.  She had left it on a thorn bush after running from the ball at midnight.   I think this is what happened - Marie had sent David Stafford a Kanji Puff artifact.  David created a timeline and hence the mystery surrounding this most important of archeological finds entered main stream history – something like the Terracotta Warriors, only MUCH more important.

 

This is SPECIAL sort of Kanji Puff – this sample, very kindly forwarded by Marie has the most power – anti-MIZ power.  No more Miz for me – I’m LAUGHING J)) – thank you Sweet Pea – treasures as always.

I MUCH prefer my version :-)))!!! I thought Marie would NEVER use boring parsimony :-))) - I'm LAUGHING!!! LMF - Goatee arrived today and Karen - yours was posted this morning - Serendipity is busy again I see - I think she's as busy as the Spell Chick :-) X

[Lesley Magwood Fraser]

Parsimonious - aka being a tightarse.... I am sure this doesn't apply to using Kanji Puffs???

[Lesley Magwood Fraser]

Lisa See's book is so beautiful - very inspiring! Now i feel like making more books - CHERYL!!!! Marie - another awesome work, the threads holding it all together in your distinct style are wonderful. And I love the "encaged" concept.

[Marie Wintzer]

thank you Karen (I got a great envelope from you today)

[Marie Wintzer]

Am I allowed a LOL? :-)) Is parsimony a strange word? :-))

Parsimony: prudence in avoiding waste - extreme care or reluctance in spending

use it! use it!!

[Karen Champlin]

Great piece and super blog!  Thanks to both of my friends.

[cheryl penn]

Ok - I had to look that up!

Parsimony is a non-parametric statistical method commonly used in computational phylogenetics for estimating phylogenies.

I'll be SURE to use that one in my next conversation :-)))) - never mind when I wave the Anit-MIZ Kanji Puff Wand :-) XX

[Marie Wintzer]

EEEKK! Hmmm, just use with parsimony, one never knows, just in case....
