The beautiful map of the St. Johns River was smashed to smithereens by Beryl the Beast. I have tried to reassemble it but parts are missing. All things change. I know that. I hate that. At least sometimes I do.
I met an artist, a painter & print maker, at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art last year who said he often paints over pieces and reworks them. I was shocked. How could you touch something you worked so hard to get to the point you deemed it "Voila!" I still ponder that. But on occasion think it could be liberating. The map of the St Johns was wonderful. I'm glad I got to be one of those who experienced it before Beryl reworked it.
