I favorited this piece a while back, but DA wouldn't allow me to comment that day. I favorited this piece because it reminds me strongly of a friend of mine, a storyteller who's birthname is Fox. I love how occasionally a piece of art will have meaning that directly connects with one's life.

Funny should say 'he or she'. My hubby kept asking me whether it was male or female. All I could think of was..."It's just Fox!" I love knowing it could be either one, depending on who is looking!

getcarter [2007-01-17 12:56:44 +0000 UTC]

The first question is: is there anything like truth, or is the socalled truth just the cross section of the summ of all possible perceptions?
You can only get a clear answer if we are talking about sience - physics, for example.

Chief Joseph – Nez Perce ment the truth, which you only can see with your heart - but be patient - this is not easy.

but now to your work: dholms influence cannot be negated - what I realy like about this piece, is the attention to the detail - you made it to use several layers with different grain and joined them that good, that they look like one piece.

A great tribute for your friend!

Foxfires In reply to getcarter [2007-01-17 21:04:54 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! And your keen perception... indeed, Chief Joseph was speaking of the truth of the heart. Perhaps the most difficult truth of all!

Huge thanks always to `dholms , his textures inspire art from me! You hit it spot on; the challenge of using a number of textures, and yet not going overboard...and making it seamless. I am so honored that you feel I achieved that!
