meandering patterns in snow


In a book on patterns in nature I once saw two photos side by side.  One was an aerial view of a meandering river.  The second was an aerial view of a derailed train wreck.  The pattern that the derailed train cars created was pretty much a direct copy of the path the meandering river had taken.  

Then there was the scientific explanation having to do with physics and force and some other weighty topics like gravity maybe.  That part bored me.  It was the visual that captivated me.  A train wreck and a river had something in common?  Cool!

The meandering patterns I see in snow have inspired me at times.  Below is a photo of one of my art works, inspired by wind-carved  snow.  The word Sanaguaqti means carver in Inuktutut, the language of the Inuit.  The art work of the Inuit of Cape Dorset inspires me also.

What inspires you?  Whatever it is, comic books, horses, dance, books, cooking, etc....let it lead you on the dance through your life.
