when i made this i thought of someone who once had this carved and carefully painted in and with it hope and enthousiasm. did the hope and enthousiasm fade too with time?

I don't know if it did or not but my first thought was uh oh! I'm in trouble. I like this, simple and possibly for that reason alone can evoke alot of different thoughts from people.

Very interesting question. My husband carves bas relief type wood images. He goes through periods of no carving, then something comes to his mind and he is off carving, almost obsessively. Hope and enthusiasm may appear faded, but it can be brought to life again with inspiration, and sometimes renovation. Great concept and image, Koosie. Hugs, Suzanne

as I write, whenever I post a comment for the first time, I post with humility because I do not show artwork here but post in other arts. (I was invited here by a friend.) But having seen your incisive comments several places and having come to your gallery several times, I thought I owed you something back for the pleasure I've received. I can see you've been in design of one or many kinds, and have both an architectural and a deep graphic sense; and I started with this because it just called me. I love that you appreciate the texture of 'wear' and what time does to surfaces and images. Though this is a time-worn image, you've captured the eloquence & dignity of an image holding-on. Even the wood itself will eat into the lettering in time (it already took over part of your wonderful arrow), and you've captured what appears to be the last months of the letters' sheen before they give way to grays & those ghosts that letters turn into after their 'maturity' is over. It's a portrait of process & the lasting presence of 'ground', of the surface that will eventually consume everything, and which will disappear in time as well. This has a simple eloquence, from someone who's obviously done dialogue with design for a while; and oddly—considering it portrays decay—it's very gentle & peaceful. You're a fine artist, K. A pleasure to see your work.
