"The womb of creation out of which art, the self, the universe is born." CR

"Don't worry about the big picture

It has to look good up close

Then everything else will fall into place

Trust

If you follow instinct and allow even the unfamiliar

The work will create itself

It's own identity

Not preconceived

But born

Even if peculiar

Unique

To be

Don't question the work

Just follow the colors

The dynamics

The marks

Layer after layer

Until it calls to pause

To observe

To rest

To either re-approach and area by area

Stepping close and further away to see the whole

Working away until it once again calls to rest

To be observed

To then be accented again

To be Interrupted

To be brought back into balance

In moments of unease

Frustration

To patiently and with inner grace worked away

Until the next moment calls to rest

Until one moment

One day

It is where it wants to be

For you to pursue a new work

And discover it's sometimes peculair destiny

In the end

Making sense

And insights and appreciation found

Not always immediately and when immersed

But when perspective found

And fresh eyes can see

That what was hidden

When too close in the immediate reality

Breath by breath

Movement by movement

Gesture after gesture

Until one sees the horizon

And then steps beyond it when leaving this new entity to be

Wherever and whatever it may be

But where energy simply calls to redirect

Before paths once again intercept

Let the work be itself

Take time to observe it as much as you spend working at it

Observe what becomes alive and what needs cradling to be brought to light"

"As in life just trust in the work itself, in moments of uncertainty. The work will create itself, and as life teach you and evolve into what is meant to be and meant to be experienced by you and it"

"Don’t be afraid

To paint with light"

The energy goes in and out

Out and and in

Circling

Held"

'Initiation/reactivating the sensitivity to presents presents. Be arriving in the body, and hearing and feeling the senses. And hearing the intuition and letting it guide me. Trusting, and discovering what with curiosity, that which is calling to be born.'14.10.2024
