I’m ditching my family. I found that the rabbit hole of family history and homes wasn’t serving my practice but was feeding and fuelling the anxiety that i had that my work wasn’t about anything important that it couldn’t be important. Now that i have been doing more research and have been unpacking my practice more i have come to more security in my ideas I no longer feel that the family route is the one for me.
My shapes are interesting enough. shadows and ephemeral shapes and architecture and distortion and replication are all valid and are all allowed to fuel my practice.
Ingrid and I discussed the process of meditating on the shapes, spending more time with them, and really considering how I’m going to translate these shapes into my practice. We talked about layering shape, and reproducing it so many times and seeing what essence of the shapes remain.
Ingrid spoke about the possibilities for shimmering shapes, shapes that move with the sun, shapes that are only visible at a certain time of day, shapes that you will never see again.
this is what i will be moving forward with
