Oil painting is changing my relationship with image. with oil, you push the pigment around till it lands in the right place. an explosion of paint thinner can take every delicately placed pigment away. I think that is the most exciting part because intricacy serves to help me think. I do not feel so precious about the intricacy. I think the more important focus is intentionality. When i start to overthink is when the mark swells, bloats, or becomes plastic

Discovering what i am drawn to and what they are trying to tell me. Narrowing the scope, arranging the furniture that was already in the room, opening the window to look out at the landscape
wiz of oz- the house spins up, lands somewhere else
magic treehouse books
the dream travel white laying in bed
dreaming presumes some sort of body safety state

[’I am about life’ i said to myself,’ I’m gonna live as hard as i can and as full as i can until i die. And i’m not letting these parasites, these oppressors, these greedy racist swine make me kill my children in my mind, before they are even born. I’m going to live and i’m going to rejoice. Because our children are our futures and i believ in the future and in the strength and rightness of our struggle.]

It is hoped in the future that additional grants will enable us to publish and document information crucial to the field before luck and the vagaries of time will have dispersed this material. “
