Reflective Saturday

The week ended with a "no" from the Allerton Hood Residency, though also encouraging future projects. As much as I've been focused on the possibility of that residency, I'm pausing in the gap of not knowing what's next. 

I went through my application material and pulled out some key phrases that speak of my art practice regardless of project or proposal. I've been talking with other artists. Here are words I'm reflecting on.


The Magic of Walking with a Camera

A Practice Retreat - A Portal

To Be Held - To Hold a Camera

Desire Lines - Traces in the Land

Inner Queer - Public and Private

Amateur = Love


Raging River

... feel its force

... see where it takes me

Trail of Death 

... traumatic clearing

... survivance 

Dawn & Dusk

... the sun is slant

... the mind is open

Dreaming


The Artist Is Dangerous

Dragons & Demons

Fire - In the Dark of Winter

Crucible - Cauldron - Caldera

Raw Edges - Deep Surprise - Not Knowing

Personal Inner Wild

Generative Spark - Something New Emerges

Creating Meaning


The Sphinx

A pair of sphinx face Allerton House, invoking Oscar Wilde's poem. Those words, too, echo in my mind.
