Glad it’s not just me, lol. I needed it too. It’s really hard, and I think it’s supposed to be. That’s what separates a purpose from an interest. Passion from dabbling. A vocation from a hobby. A willingness to teh hard things because the hard things are worth doing.
I started accidentally destroying some collages today with an idea for an added touch to a series of works I had finished ages ago. So I left the studio (upstairs room) and went to a museum for inspiration. I’m hoping I can salvage it when I return! Shit in progress.
Hope you found what you needed at the museum. I have no doubts that you’ll be able to salvage in some creative and insightful way. Can’t wait to see it!
These collages are gorgeous, like poems of their own they tell stories. It's very liberating reading this piece. "It just needs to be." How many let perfection rule and stop them from creating. A well kept secret that you share. Thank you for reminding me too that every piece of writing does need one thing, to be written.🙏🏻
Está claro, lo más importante es hacer el trabajo cada día. ¡Bien!
¡Exactamente! ¡Estoy totalmente de acuerdo!
Needed to hear that this week! Sometimes it is hard to keep showing up, but I know it is always the right thing to do.

Those two chair pieces, side by side... great grouping!
Thanks so much Kim! Glad you like them!!
However messy the process, you make beautiful collages. Be proud, you inspire us!
Thank you Emily! I appreciate it! It really means a lot to me!

The museum gave me the pause I needed if not the inspiration. I think I’m back on track now.
So glad to hear it!
You say you make a lot of shit. What I see is you see things, put something together that you feel. You make by exploring and it evolves.
“You make by exploring” - Thank you for that! That’s such a poignant and succinct way of putting it!
Thanks for the reminder to just keep making! I'm a maker too!
My pleasure! Thanks so much for reading! Keep making!!

Exactly! Well said. The work only needs to be made, nothing less, nothing more!
The most simple thing yet so easy to forget.
I forget constantly. I had to write this as a reminder. I always write what I most need to hear.
And same goes for reading what we need to hear!
