Clay Ross - I (HAVE) HAD A PLAN

“I   H A V E   A   P L A N” 

Most of us at one time, or many times, felt like we had a rock solid plan.  A plan for our future, our relationships, our careers…

I have had many plans in my life and for the last 10 year I sold carpet (that was absolutely not the plan).  During this time my life was spent behind the wheel and on graph paper drawing floor plans.  My wife, Emily, and I also have had plans and dreams and held to them tightly, even after an unfortunate fire the took our beloved business.  Again, as we worked to put the pieces together I spent so many hours dreaming and scheming on graph paper drawing floor plan after floor plan (23 to be exact) as we searched for a new home for our business. 

While I wanted this collection to reflect, in some way, the countless hours spent on graph paper both rebuilding our dream as well as the unplanned career, this series is truly about our need for each other and our need to adapt. 

We all have hopes, dreams, and plans, we must all learn to adapt, pivot and color outside the lines a little. 

Finally, this is a thank you to the people I love and a reminder that we are all indeed beautifully dependent on one and other.
