I have made a base for Poly-means many that will sit inside the steel legs.  Except I’m going to have to modify the corners, because they won’t fit.  They are too tall.  Art, for me is the process, and learning.  I have helped build and rehab many houses, so you’d think I would get that “measure twice” rule of carpenters.  However, problems and glitches sometimes lead to new ideas.  Anyway, most of the topography is made of scraps of plywood.  I will insert some pieces of plate glass in some of the gaps.  Some are holes, or ruts,  like to map of my life.  The red wood dye is a Briwax product.  I will continue to add more dye to make some areas dark.  Because some of the plywood had a hard finish, it barely takes the dye, and other areas are various shades. 

Poly-means many

I am trying to understand the many sides of this thing.  Maybe like a blind person describing an elephant.  I have already used steel wire to make the word “open” which I plan to use to wire the book closed.  Along with openings and opportunities, there are limits.  After I fashioned the word “limit”, Gregg forged it for me, making it flatter and wider.  Then we took a photo to show the shadow, and the light.  Many of the words I’m using are opposites, but some are shades of meanings.  “Limit” may appear on or near the “glass ceiling.”
