Hello, friends!
It’s…been a minute. Life has certain revealing qualities to it that you can either ignore or face head on. This year, I have had little choice in the matter. Hah. (Thank you, Fire Horse)
Recognizing my attempts at control simply lead to irritation. This has been at the forefront of my learning.
Art!
What a wonderful way to express…everything!
I used to think I had no creative capacity, but I have started to understand that I couldn’t have been more wrong (a common denominator in my life).
Every single person has a deep well of creativity. You simply have to search for it. What does that look like? Practice. Practice with any and everything. All human art has meaning, and that meaning will be different to every person who sees it, and changes based on what phase of life they see it at.
The piece below is such a trip. Received alcohol ink from the library, which I had never heard of until yesterday, and found a mirror that a neighbor was throwing out. The result? I don’t know. What do you see in it? A meteor crashing? An alien garden?
(Also tried some on a canvas! Turned out quite nicely.)
Let me know what it shows to you!
