I spent a portion of Sunday afternoon just looking through various journals that linger on the shelf in my tiny studio. I became interested in the constants contained in my art work. They are the images, rubber stamp impressions, numbers, bits, etc… that appear in my work over and over again. Some of the symbols have meaning that only I know and others I have yet to discover.

~Symbols - a form, image, or subject representing a meaning other than the one with which it is usually associated.

As to the meaning of symbols here are some definitions I found interesting to explore, Wikipedia, The Dictionary of Symbolism, and Artlex .
