Most of what I share here in this blog is from my one color a month project, TWELVTY, but there’s a lot of other stuff bumbling away in the background.
I think of that other stuff being the other 9/10 of the creative iceberg.
In this month’s studio musings email I shared a new project I’m just embarking on.
It’s something really enormous, both literally, and I hope, figuratively too.
All of this is feeding into what comes next.
‘The sun wants to shine.’
I add these little thought snippets to my drawings.
Oftentimes words from whatever I’m listening to as I draw. Sometimes they have a meaning to me at the time, but sometimes the meaning arrives weeks or even years later.
Or the meaning gets lost and reappears later, morphed, updated to the current moment.
It’s a leap of faith – putting this out there into the internet, and saving these thoughts in my drawings. Faith that it will have some meaning to someone -a future version of me, or a present day version of someone reading this.
It’s like a lot of loose puzzle pieces to me right now.
I’m intrigued and entranced by the process of puzzling, through drawing and words.
To slow down the spiral enough to catch focus on what the elements of it are:
The repeating patterns, the sequence of feelings, the stories that play out over and over again.
I don’t have answers, but I do have observations, and new questions all the time.
If you’d like to join in me in this curious adventure, sign up to my newsletter and I’ll show you where I’m at right now. Let’s puzzle some of this out together, shall we?
