With the understructure of EMERGENCE complete, the next big area focus in the studio is drawing, labeling, and cutting out all of the hope symbols. Mariel ended up copying the key I drew for us to use as reference as we went along in the studio. With this we can keep track of which symbols we've completed and which we still need to make.

For me the fun part in creating this work is seeing it all come together. Much like completing a puzzle there's a sense of play and rhythm in trying to make things fit.

Slow and steady wins the race!
