I'm struggling. It's been a long, hard week or two.... time is passing quickly and there's this panic in me that I'm not using my time well. I have sense of time being marked in some of the sketches. They come from the trees and they are made of trees. This cycle of things keeps emerging as does the attempt to order it. Drawing is ordered is it not? Nature is ordered too. One of the visitors last week mentioned Fibonacci, I hadn't thought of it for a while so it was a gift to be reminded that there is this underlying system to the apparent randomness of things. I get many gifts in the studio; a pencil enthusiast the other day; a wordsmith who tripped me off on a whole debate in my head about language and then back again to the language of the mark; a wonderful blind lady who taught me the 'feel' of the building. How do I make a piece with all this? How do I mark these ideas and conversations....
Found this very encouraging:
