I love spiral shapes, they have a wonderful energy that draws me in. Always expanding outward to infinity, a nice metaphor for not being stuck. I’m a sucker for a spiral, always have been. I remember as a child with finger paints drawing endless spirals, just mesmerized, while the art teacher gently prodded me to “draw a real picture, like what the other children are doing”. Perhaps a square house with a round yellow sun overhead? Eventually I learned to make pictures that looked like that, with a mommy, daddy, children and a dog. Some lollipop flowers.
I did manage to outgrow my childhood, and find my own creative sense again. I won’t bore you with a diatribe about what school does to children; a forced conformity; preparation for being good factory workers, etc. etc. Oops, I almost started a diatribe.
Anyway, here are some lovely spirals.
