I’ve had a stretch when I really haven’t felt inspired to make these drawings. So I sit at my work table and find a way to break the blank space of the page, and spend at least just a little time filling it with lines and colors. Is it worthwhile? I really don’t know. But it does feel like I am at least using something like a language for my experience of being an alive human, even if all I’m saying is a brief expletive or a frustrated bleat.
ALT: water-soluble crayon. two blue circles balance, one below a horizon line and one halfway above and below. between them a straight dark diagonal, with arcs at either end that connect and balance the circles. the ground and sky are sunset colors.
I admire your practice, the fact that you produce art even when you don’t feel much like it. You show up, and in my book that’s what matters!
Showing up every day is the first big lesson I learned from setting up a daily practice. Sometimes it feels so pointless, but I remind myself that I am holding a space for myself, that is so easy to lose if you let it go.
