Since I was a kid I've enjoyed rolling my feet over the fallen gumballs covering the ground.
I was camping alone at the lake one morning sitting in forward bend pose on my mat surrendering to nature and the inner-stillness, when a single gumball fell from the tree above, and landed right under my nose between my legs.
The gumball seemed ordinary, like all the many others around, but after closely looking I was sure it was unique, as well as the others.
I decided to sketch that particular gumball, and then carve that sketch into a piece of relief print material gifted to me.
I use that carving as a relief print stamp that I've printed on objects around me. The same image I use as a logo to symbolize the uniqueness, and oneness in nature.
I haven't decided if I'll make it a tattoo yet, but it will represent this art, and business project to connect with people, and help them tell their story.
The hard, woody balls can roll if you stand on them, causing injury if you fall.
