A detail from an altered book I did a while ago.
Whoever thinks that artists need strife and angst to do work was mistaken. I think I mentioned this fact before. It's a common misconception advanced by the myth that is VanGogh, Rothko, etc. When things are unsettled, I have a hard time creating for myself. If I have something that Needs to get done I'm your go to girl- hence the coffee wall (which I still need to photograph- I will soon). But with all the distractions of the last month and a half, I haven't been able to make much progress on the collages I have been working on. So, Lisa and I decided rather than to stress ourselves out even more, we would postpone our duet show. This is a good thing, because I will be able to document progress a little more effectively.
Despite the slight block, there is one piece I am working on that I am very very excited about and don't want to rush- it's the story of a prayer.
