I popped my head into the studio this morning just as the sun came over the ridge. So cold in there I could see my breath.
I may drag the heater in there and futz around later on. After cooking and cleaning and maybe a walk and most certainly, a nap.
Arlee Barr picked me to carry on this Art Chain thing on FB. I really can't imagine doing it for five days. I rummaged around in my image files and found some good images of somewhat recent work, if 2012 can be considered recent. Still, I needed to look at the real things I used to make.
While in here, I took a hard look at a piece that's been hanging on the small design wall since it was
stuck to the canvas in 2010.
"Firefly Cotillion" even made it to the front of my
business cards that year. A pretty good representation of what I was up to at the time.
I studied it for a while and started thinking about how all these little elements seemed to running around inside their life looking for something.
Not lost or desperate, but purposeful, like they knew they'd find it eventually, if they just kept at it. Little seekers.
Without looking things over, I think it's a theme that runs through my work still.
