fail better*

so as usual, i'm finding my way through a lively studio practice. working on a new larger series of pieces. something is cooking for sure. what's going on here? what will it taste like? what will you see? i'll post some working images soon.

sometimes after making marks all day, it seems like there's a breakthrough --- a new shape emerges, a new color, or something familiar just looks different --- and then later, it doesn't hold up as a whole. and so... i keep making marks.

*deep thanks to artist Troy Passey, for making beautiful, dark marks on paper. and especially his piece "Fail Better".
