Day 48 of year 3
I am still struggling to like these recent works but perhaps they are too close to me and I will like them when I look back. Not that it matters really, one foot in front of the other moves me forward on this mysterious journey. I am currently editing photos for my book and doing a Lightroom intensive (photo editing program). I'm finding some difficulty switching my brain back to art after working. Life demands compromises, but creative flow needs constant tending and protection. This large hand in tonight's print has come up a few times recently. I think it is the fiery hand of The Artist (as I have often described it in my private writings) revealed to the artist. So much of my work is a depiction of this Artist/artist relationship, my search to find intimacy, a desire for understanding and, at the same time, a surrender to unknowing.
