I'm a person who is constantly seeking meaning and interpretation of the symbols, signs and shapes that I recognize in everyday life. This is probably why I'm so attracted to geometrically printed textiles. After spending a bit of time thinking about the print on this dress, it occurred to me that it reminds me of Runic script, which is pretty neat. I like to think of this ancient alphabet as being somewhat hieroglyphical. In my dress, I'm seeing many r's, g's and w's, which are symbols for 'journey', 'gift' and 'joy'. This makes me so happy, as lately I feel as though I've been on quite an important conquest that has produced many joyous gifts in my life thus far. Perhaps I'm over analyzing a simple print too much, but the feeling that I get from thinking that what I'm wearing is a representation of my current state of mind is a joyous gift all on its own.
