just as an example.   This     is a result of what i have learned from Jude Hill.     This.   Whatever it means to anyone else.  Whatever it is they see.   This is where i am.    it's one of the small cloths that i have so far called Invocations…..the definition i use…   "the act of invoking something or someone for assistance".  Invocation.   it's Asking.

they are small.   5×7.   Small Askings.    

they are collages of scraps that speak of a FEELING,   an EXperienCE….something in a day.  A moment.   A realization.  A Hope.     they are a lot…

a hope

they arise from what i have.   Those 13 huge ziplock bags of scrap.    Supersized Ziplocks.   there are many askings therein.   

this is what i have from Jude.   And i am eternally grateful.   Eternally grateful to her for  showing me that i can go here.  Where i am.   Where i am.

    I may have been just a little extra glue to hold in place what was already there.
