Thirteen is my magic number, not just because I am born on the 13th.  It is surprisingly round.  A lunar year has 13 moon cycles. I made an artwork about the sky called Birch Trees Under Big Sky which is about the vastness around us.  This is inspired by the negative space of a golden group of 13 linked circles which is the center of Big Sky.  Negative is the same as positive.  There is a golden light shining from behind. The rust and flowers bring it all down to earth.
