One of the best things about driving to and from Goondiwindi to deliver and/or pick up art works is that the show is on just around cotton harvest time.
We drive past huge broad acre farms with rows and rows of cotton. I'm not sure about you but I have this sense of child-like delight every time I see cottonballs growing on bushes! It dumfounds, astounds, astonishes and excites me - the notion of these fuzzy cottonballs growing on plants.
So of course, we have to stop and collect bits and pieces that have blown off the trucks. I now have a box of cotton balls waiting for me in the studio, or maybe they are just keeping me company. I often think how weird we must look to anybody else driving past...
Still, on the last trip we pulled over to look at some of the massive harvested bails, and one of the things that caught my eyes was the knots in the cotton...
Who knows what we'll see in Japan!

ReplyDeleteYes V, quite the contrast!
DeleteCotton monoliths... and JAPAN! Have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteThey do appear as monoliths Valerianna, and yes lots to see and do in Japan as well.
DeleteI think I would have to stop and pick up cotton balls if I saw them. Sunflowers growing at the side of the road or in fields have a similar effect on me.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine I would be the same with sunflowers Robyn!
