Another Kasey Baker painting, in response to my piano musings.
Metal Knotted came from a discussion about the nature of anxiety and what it feels like when it dissipates. I didn't actually know that is what I was feeling when I improvised the piece, but Kasey captured it afterwards by coming up with this artwork in reaction.
"Start with a loose tangle. Find two ends, and start pulling them in opposite directions. Make them want different things. Force through the tangle, fight against it. Turn it into a knot, make it harder, as hard as metal. Then remember, how could metal ever become a knot? To untangle, remember where it started. With softness."

wow, that was great. Really captured the essence of how it feels when things just start to overwhelm you. And then at the end as it gets softer and sort of unravels, left me feeling all relaxed.
