"New Voodoo"“Working for something that I never want to own.”
“The thing I’ve seen as of late is a progress in my comfort with the now. What IS happening and WHY this is happening. I worry often about the particular “going forward” but I refrain from it eating me and creating a voodoo likeness of myself that illustrates a lesser me and a greater evil within myself. The biggest thing with my art is that I’m learning when to call it. When it’s over. When the break is needed. When it can be showcased. That could mean a finished piece or just finished for the night or possibly just capturing a moment. This piece and myself have such a tumultuous relationship. I have a studio space full of my own work and after sitting in it so often it begins to burn you. The exhale that gives it life takes the breath out you. You look back on ones that could be stronger and remember that it was a moment in time where you were weaker. Then you look at ones that remind you of a time where you created from a really strange place and then realize that now it all feels very normal. This is one that just really bothered me i it’s previous form. I desperately wanted it to feel like right now.” -III |
