The Dear Diary project is so much about process. It is so important for me that I challenge myself, and the Diary is a playground in which I can feel free.
However, ambition and everlasting judging play here too, and sometimes, when a Diary page goes -- since there's no wrong here, then -- off!, dark skies gather over the premises :-) I liked this spread better a good three or four stages ago. But then green paint entered, and ... well—Process.
Flipping back through the book, shows me exactly when I have been feeling creatively relaxed, and when I've been struggeling. There are days when I'd had liked all pages to be perfect, but that's no Diary. My book is, in this way, very honest, raw and tells the story of a process. Ups and downs. Flow and no. And green paint where there should have been none ...
Best of weekends to you.

your blog is really cute! :)
ReplyDeletei'm catching up with your blog now. I don't have much time lately, but it feels great to come across your posts and your diary. I remember how amazed i was when I came here and saw your pieces more than a year ago. Your art still moves me.

oh gosh, i hear you. it's all about riding the ups and downs. i think it's true, whoever said that the most important part of art-making is to stay out of our own way was so right! so true, so true. (and i too love the legs popping out of the torso.)
