more questions than answers.
arriving to places accidentally.
letting every move inform the next.
holding the tensions of the opposites.
index the marks and strategize.
resistance——release,
breathing cycle in process.
candid. not posed. mark before thinking.
surrender / control
creating a structure while skewing and bending it—
to see if it breaks.
interior paintings:
feel like building a home
meditative rather than cathartic
layers of being
emotional space
open ended storytelling
subtle dislocation
flatness and possibility
side quest self portraits:
self arrivals not self portraits
less ego more instinct
sliced up self and glitched
plaaaayful
about checking in
painterly
sitting on the side awaiting the moments when my hand needs to do something without knowing anything. they start like this.
today the studio is active.
two paintings started that will go down different paths.
the unfinished sit patient.
doing it for the work. giving it the best shot.
it’s here, so give it a life.
"making a home shadow" is wonderful mystifying phrase.
