Okay, this is weird, but I've been thinking about it for two days.
When I was a kid, I got the flu. I was really sick and pretty spacey.
At one point, I felt I'd come unglued from my body. I felt like there was a blog (me) lying sick in bed, and gradually a smaller blob (my conscious self) sort of hovering above the blob in bed. Connected, but apart.
It didn't feel BAD, it just felt....weird.
I forgot about that for years. Until the last few years, I remembered I'd felt that way and occasionally get a little "deja vu" feeling about it from time to time.
Yesterday, I was modeling some horse sculptures for my upcoming show. Big ones. They're kinda hard to manipulate into shape when the get that big (compared to the tiny ones I make for jewelry and small sculpture.)
Suddenly, I had that feeling again. I realized the first way I manipulate the clay to form a horse is....pulling a smaller blob (horse's head/neck) slowly away from the bigger blob (his body.)
It felt weird, and I haven't figured out if it's weird in a good way or a bad way....
