reading someone’s stream of consciousness writing. One thing leads to another and another until the original thought has given way to a myriad thought form encompassing all that flows through the mind. This is quite beautiful, as your work always is. Such a light touch. It’s an ethereal drawing of interconnected forms. The naming of it as The Elephant works well because you invite the viewer to find it and to puzzle over it, looking at the lines and the forms and discovering interesting interconnected and transformative lines.

I love it.

analysis/critique. I never thought of that drawing that way, I just draw and it seems to flow. Been dry lately, with all the politics, the virus etc., kind of hard to persue any kind of creativity.

Worry does take over, destroying anything positive, poisoning our higher thinking. It’s like walking mentally through a sucking swamp.

We’ll make it past this terrible time.
