  1. you have done some nice things visually with this piece...i like the river of letters...the gap in align allay...(im) mobile...the visuals tak us on as much a journey as the words...

  2. This poetic sculpture consists of carefully equilibrated parts that move in response to the breath of voice. A beautiful capture in words and thought of the pictured mobile.

  7. Barbara,

    Years ago I thought Calder pointless, frivolous. Now I recognize the shapes and particularly the balances, moving balances.

    Yes. Quite taiji, Tai Ch'i.
