Trouble sleeping last night led to some doubts about my big projects. Working Title: Dionysus’ Ear. Is the idea strong enough? Will it be too unwieldy to display? Too heavy? Do I have the will and discipline needed to complete this monster weaving?
On the other hand - I find myself convinced this will be a very strong piece. It is actually moving along so well, that perhaps I will have time and energy for another one to add to this body of work. Do other artists find themselves of two minds? Like, all the time?
I am currently a little stalled on my small paper weavings - intended to debut in the same show. I am still developing an understanding of what they are - but I know I love the ones with some indigo in them the best. These need some light shining through them to pick out the blue glow. Also love the one I printed a birch leaf image onto. I am eager to get back into the rhythm of making these. It requires some faith to keep going without a solid concept. I often work this way - finding out what a work is about once I am close to the finish.
