it is turning into a releasingClearingout-type day here. the paintings that i thought to rejuvenate, i have decided to deconstruct. the good parts are cut out, the rest of the canvas removed from the stretchers and into the black trash bag. not all of them. some i decided to keep. one i am contemplating. the others though … GONE. it really feels good. i have also released the domain name “reconstructed-mind” which was my old whiney journal for 5 years. i still have all the archives, of course (safely stashed away). what else? oh!
etsy. i am going to be doing some clearing out there now, too. so if there is anything under consideration, one might want to go for it. i am going to unlist everything i don’t feel completely pleased with. and then add more things, that i have been shy about listing, thinking they were too big or costly or otherwise deemed “Not Right”. i am going to try to steer away from making objects “that i think will sell”. that doesn’t feel right, even though i do like making small things, i would like them to be more complex and elaborate, thus more costly. i stop myself about halfway through sometimes, thinking “no one will buy it!”. funny. then they don’t sell anyway. i like to make elaborate small things - photo objects, etc., big paintings, smaller waxed paintings … and books. both prepared and finished. so i am going to do that from now on. hear me roar? heh.
so there. now back to it. i’m not stopping until that black trash bag is full and out of the studio. then back to the magazine. and still another day off!!! wheeeeee!
