| 1. a single splash 2. a slat of wood in the middle of the back of a straight chair- a straight-backed chair without arms, 3. to give off the sound of a bullet flattening on impact 4. to be flattened on impact I created this mandala back in April, when I first was playing with markers in my long, narrow notebook. At the time, I named it splat. Fun for me, when I looked up the definition today for this blog, and saw, for the first time in these 48 days, an image included in a text-based definition. I guess my mandala series is the very definition of splat! I also thought it was so interesting to learn of a definition I didn't previously know -- Splat - a slat of wood in the middle of the back of a straight chair, a chair without arms. Immediately, I realized that without the support, a strong spine, or the support and backing of others, I can feel myself risk feeling the very sound and being the very embodiment of the other definition of splat -- to be flattened on impact. As I work toward these last 18 days of work before summer, before rest, before a fresh start, I continue to find my support and my strength, so as to not become the red splat at the end of a successful school year. |
