Release

Albert Einstein said "Time is an illusion".  After I made this piece and was coming up with a title ( sometimes the hardest part ) I realized that the figure could either be releasing time or trying to capture it. I like the idea of releasing time rather than trying to hold on, capture or contain it. The harder you try to capture time the more it slips away and the less of it you have. If we release time and are not aware of it  we find ourselves more deeply involved  with the present moment ; as all sages agree- the only time to be concerned with.
This is my entry for this week's Take A Word challenge.  Imagery credits go to Dover books, Rosie Posey and Bo Bunny art papers.

    I love your interpretation of time, Lori, and your accompanying words. At my advanced age, time seems to be slipping away far too quickly!

    I love the concept and thought behind this piece! The images you've used are fabulous too, especially the clock faces and the crackle glaze effect.
