Golden Nest

In art there is a dialogue between the creator and the creation. There are three ways to respond.
In the first way, you have an idea, you make a plan and execute. If there's a deviation -the creation speaking back to the creator- the deviation is corrected and execution resumes according to plan. The resulting image is identical to the plan and the original idea.
The second way, there is an idea. A plan is formulated and executed. If there's a deviation, then the deviation is incorporated into the plan and you resume according to plan. The resulting image sort of looks like the original idea but is now "off plan".
Lastly, there is an idea but no real plan. When there is a deviation, you go with it. The resulting image bares little resemblance to the original idea. The Golden Nest exemplifies this.
My daughter Sophie once commented that the Golden Nest looks like a cut up avocado. Actually, the inspiration for this piece is the image of an ovum passing from the fallopian tube into the womb. As I said, there was no real plan, it just happened.
