i seem to have been doing most of my posting lately at artsomofo but i thought i would show this collage today because i like it. this is an interesting project, this forced exercise. i am probably taking the “committment” far too seriously, but i just wanted to see if i could do it. so far, so good. it is amazing what you can get done in less than 2 hours. especially if you have a plan, which i do. i have the bundle of paper “canvasses” prepared that are ready for collaging or painting. a box of junk and scraps and lots of jesus stickers to use. and the prepared book that i am pasting the daily pencam images in to make a finished picture book. sort of. i am noting that i am feeling guilty for not spending enough time with my poet, and feeling selfish, and i also feel like i am sort of wasting time, dicking around on exercises, instead of trying to discover my “true work” or my “personal style” which is beginning to seem a lost cause anyway. maybe i will always just be a dilettante.
lately i am a little obsessed with dwelling on the future, so the daily pencam exercise is good for keeping me somewhat present. i spent a bunch of $$ in texas and although i don’t regret a penny of it i wish i had more to pay on my debt. i wish i could get it together to get all that vintage junk out of the basement and photograph it and list it on eBay. but that sounds so tedious. this whole life is just feeling too circular lately. maybe that is why i am spinnyHeaded so often. i am glad it is friday. i shall guzzle some red wine and do my arty exercises and then watch a film with my poet. and two days of freedom!!
