3 things today:
1) I'm still working on a smaller-sized plate to keep loose and out of my head. I really had so much fun printing today and it lead me to...
2) ...a break though in my artwork unrelated to my monotypes. There is a large piece on my wall that has been sitting there for over a year. I work at it from time to time but it never flows. I realized that my idea of what the piece should be was blocking and constraining me. So many ideas and rules are absorbed into our heads that we don't even know are there. Just looking at art history books, paintings are symmetrical or even painting is a separate category from say printmaking. This all gets mixed into my own ideas about how I would like things to be. This large work had to sit for so long until I noticed my own rigidity and got out of my head. I'll post some in progress pictures soon.
