Much as I love 'story' in my artwork and to see it in others, that too seems to be how we, as creatures, are also viewed, with 'story'. Often not our own or how we see ourselves but when others view our lives long term or even for a moment on the street, they imbue us with all the baggage and perceptions they carry around with them to make their own world.
We are never the same thing at anyone time to any other person, including ourselves :)
I love the bird, and the shadow is filled with the joy of decorative line, my favourite!
Ahhh your explanation is very apt, that our perception of other people is coloured by our personal baggage and experience that we accumulate throughout the years. You always have a way with words, like the 'artistic muscle' term that you wrote to me a few days ago. Now it is part of my vocabulary.
Thank you <3.
