thank you gwendolyn for your sugar & your vision

promise

there is something happening here
maybe it will stay
and here are all 100:

estranged

another one of those days
where the studio picture i take (below)
doesn't really do it for me
and it feels like something else needs to be here
there are so many conflicting things in my head right now
about work/posting/growth
and i am a bit unnerved by how isolated i have become
there is nothing like going through a list of people that you used to know
to make it clear
how estranged you have become
it's not a bad thing
but it feels a bit sad

this is the 100th (and final) drawing of the grid project
it came off of the work that i am showing at sugar beginning this saturday
if you don't receive an email about it
don't be insulted
i am having a hard time with reaching out
(see above)

monthly process

this is maybe the only time i have intentionally used the 16:9 ratio on my camera
(occasionally i find myself accidentally on that setting)
it's not that incredible an image
but it's the first time since this moment
that i've looked at this project in it's entirety
(and that was only about one month in)
basically i am making a drawing a day
that connects to the day before
i started on 1/15
(yes my bday)
and each segment goes to the 14th of the next month
i intended to make them into accordion books
(like i did with my original self portrait project
30 years ago)
but i am not sure that's going to work structurally
so i am still don't know how i am going to present it
(or for that matter
this spin off project
which connects not only left/right
but also up/down
and is quickly nearing its final 100th drawing)

in between

i think a lot about the spaces in between...
about connections
and about juxtapositions

maybe it's just how i feel about process
and how ultimately
it is my subject matter
