Often I keep things and nearly throw them out but something niggles at the back of my mind so I put it in a drawer. 10 years down the line that something is perfect on a piece of sculpture.

I have 'collections' of gathered things around the studio but I never thought of photographing them and using them as art images...I knew I was keeping them for something! Do u ever find you've been keeping and keeping something for years and you don't know why and then one day, someone shows you the light? Thank you so much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
