So works been slow but work is never slow. The kind of work one gets paid to do has been slow but the other work, the art work never suffers. All though I have been in so much transition lately. I had to move out of my studio which was large and had a variety of tools like metal breaks and table saws and routers. It may have offered too many variables.

Now I have embraced a much smaller studio the work shop is in my basement storage space. It's pretty hilarious yet it totally works.



My light box collage area is in my other living room. My first exercise was this dimensional city collage.




It's interesting but in terms of how it fits into my desired technique it is a total failure. I have been writing a lot and researching a new direction for the past year. Part of me respects my past techniques in lightboxes, abstract photography, and layered plexi, but I know in order to grow I must explore other things. I have never been a patient person. I am still making art in a somewhat traditional sense, but what has really been overwhelming me is this new aesthetic. I've had to buy many books, and pick up new tools, and take notes, and buy more books. It's been pretty crazy, and I am not even close to the desired technique. I am not even entirely sure what it is am climbing towards, but I know to keep climbing. This theme of metropolis, future buildings seems to be consistent, yet I have no idea where I am going with this. I sometimes find myself getting closer to the answer only to realize I am further from the truth. All this trial and error is to be expected and I try not to get too frustrated. It's important to fail.

And as always I can take breaks and take pictures of Leelou.
