Formation
Formation to me is beginnings, discovering, research, which I love to do. An idea starts, evolves and then hopefully matures into a book, painting, drawing, knowledge, wisdom.... This piece for me is the beginning of a much larger work and has been an inspiring place to start. It is very different now than when it began. I focused on plants and things related to how they grow, why they are shaped the way they are, optimum conditions, and nurturing/supporting their growth - a good foundation to form optimally.
