“I
have Loved you for a Thousand Years …
And I will Love you for a Thousand more”
this
song sung by Christina Perry is not only beautiful and haunting, it has the
power to transport one to a different place and time where love is Forever … Eternal. and age-old love
stories are written in books that are stained with the elements of time, but never forgotten.
inspired by this thought and vision, i made TIMELESS ...
inspired by this thought and vision, i made TIMELESS ...
the intense surge of different emotions i felt during the creative process was ... one of a kind. i am SO in love with this piece ... so in love.
this piece took me many hours to construct as each page was lovingly burned by
incense and fashioned in a way that the burned hole in the middle of the page
tapers towards a blood red heart. i have also included little features like
miniature music notes, miniature love letters and miniature dictionary excerpts
in between the stained blank pages.
here is what i call 'the Progression' towards the core ...
i have however, left many untainted and unfilled pages behind this heart for the love stories of the next Thousand years.
i wonder who would write in them ...
AMAZING, gorgeous creative piece. Tracy x
