  i•con –noun
1. a picture, image, or other representation.
2. Eastern Church . a representation of some sacred personage, as Christ or a saint or angel, painted usually on a wood surface and venerated itself as sacred.
3. a sign or representation that stands for its object by virtue of a resemblance or analogy to it.

I've tried to achieve the better part of this definition here in this series.
~More than a circle, more than a mark; a mark made with intention and direction-with the objective of recalling something real and found in the earth to the viewer. A sign or representation that stands for an object by virtue of its resemblance.
To indicate, point to, take your mind, heart and spirit to, some thing-or place-that causes you to sing~
Or, to weep.
Whatever it be, I have sought recognition in this series through the determined look at the definition of icon.
So I introduce you to this~ my current studio passion.
