How does one make decisions, are they well planned out and research or are they an impulsive reaction? Are we in a time when words do not mean anything? Thoughts and opinions can be polarizing, get entwined and may change. The words stamped onto hand-painted paper reflect many wide-ranging present-day views. The twisting spiral connected to a central core echoes the idea that we are all connected in one way or another.

This sculpture has been worked on off and on for months. Twice it appeared finished but with further contemplation there was more to be said. One rib has been purposely left unfinished, signifying that assessments and language can shift.
