I read an article today, Our Search For Beauty is What Makes us Human. It referenced poet Gerard Manley Hopkins and his perspective on beauty as being analyzed in terms of visual rhyme. Things that share a similarity but differ in their details. What’s driving our delight is rhyme, the comparisons we make between things, and the ways in which they resemble but differ from each other. The author, Nicholas Humphrey, took this concept further, using the idea of rhyme even more broadly asserting that ideas can rhyme, concepts can rhyme - it’s not only sensory phenomena. Metaphors are great examples of rhyme.
. Then I sat down to create something, thinking about rhyme. Starting from this wall I was fascinated with, and wish I took more photos of, during a recent session.

The cinder blocks placed perfectly for you to stand and take a photo in front of the wings.
When I took this photo, I intended to take the wings somewhere else.

Construction in progress.
The walls needed to protect her peace.
The old walls have served their purpose,
and were long overdue for reworking.
The structure is still fragile
requiring some additional temporary support.
