charcoal
i love drawing in charcoal....or soft black pastel....getting the powder embedded in the lines of my fingerprints and not being able to cm pletely remove the stains.... there is something primal about it that sends me to those pictographs in australia.....

uncomplicating the work
so, I was talking to a beloved, about the work that i am displaying, how i am coming to terms with it....and hopefully turning a corner...It is so nice to have beloveds who "GET ME..." because , i often feel like alot of people don't.....and thus, I end up keeping to myself my thought processes.....
I was telling him about the conversation with my father about picasso....and how my father reminded me that i don't need to worry about suffering for my art....because that is wasted energy....that there are things that i can see that he cannot, that others cannot....and i forget this...because it is just such a part of who i am, i feel that everyone sees the world andthe ways things work or fit, that i do...that they can all picture it in their heads...and this si a rediculous notion...something I should know better to think..if nothing else...because i am a teacher and have had training in how different students learn....and there are so many ways...that no person ever learns quite thesame as another...so why would everyone see things the way i see them?
So, My beloved, K told me the exact same thing.....and it is just nice to hear him say it too....
and it made me feel better about moving in this direction of simplicity....that i have moved into by accident....but, am lightened by....
it is about uncomplicating things...which in the end, is what i have always been about.....when things got too rediculous...seeing the direct path was my forte....why shouldn't it be th same in my artwork as well....
Cutting to the chase, was what i was known for....why would i not do that inmy artwork as well?
when did i stop doing that?
And isn't that just another part of myself that should be regained? denial of self inhales profusely....suffocation, cannot possibly be good for the artwork....how in the world can i justify suffering for the sake of cerebral purposes.....?
Suffering does not equal cerebral.....especially when it is chosen.....
