| spiral found on a door of a city building in Pittsburgh, PA |
If you have followed my blog at all, you will remember that there are symbols that show up in my work repeatedly. I talked about the Ginkgo leaf in my last post. Competing for the number one spot in my personal symbology is the spiral. I literally "collect" them both in nature and man made. They are something that I truly enjoy looking for where ever I go.
So, I will share the latest in my collection of spirals, all found in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.
There is a lot of inspiration to be found here for me. The thing is, that, I don't really know why the spiral speaks to me. I know that it represents growth and continual change. Perhaps it is the fact that I am in the process of growth myself,( growth in my art work and in my career), that I am attracted to them. Just as with the ginkgo leaf, I will continue to dig deeper to uncover the roots of what the attraction is all about.
Do you have a personal list of favorite symbols? Do you know other meanings for what a spiral represents? I'd love to hear what they are.
PS: below is my reward for a "hard" day walking and biking around Pittsburgh. We were lucky enough to find an Oktoberfest!

I often use spirals. I don't know that they are magical but they are easy to draw and to quilt. I don't know that there is a particular symbol or shape that I look for. Hmmm....I will have to pay attention more. LOL
ReplyDeleteMmmm, a spiral is like a circle, only better.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog! I, too, love spirals and find them everywhere! Congratulations on your inclusion in the new book.
