I have been house sitting and so this is the first night all year that I will be actually sleeping in my own bed, and kinda getting back to normal... It is always a lil weird at first when you go and house sit - you are in a transition OUT of your normal life.... and then when you return home then you go back into a new transition... It typically takes a few days to a week for me to get back to feeling totally normal and fully functioning. I think because the first day your just unpacking, then trying to put everything back into it's place... BOTH physically and then just in getting back into the swing of things...
I am still trying to figure out how to make that transition with my artwork... and I seem to have all the pieces (which is funny because I really like using pieces and layers) but I can't seem to figure out how they are all going to be put together. The beginning of this year has really made me question all the kinds of artwork I like and do -- and just has been provoking me to think more about it and about what I want it to express or look like... -- while I loved doing the photo shoots, and loved the shots.... they don't seem to really fit into what I am attempting to do currently. They were a great chance to practice and study... and things like that always seem to connect with some other idea or door I want to go thru later down the road... I have really noticed how my work and my interests seem to circle.... I will have an idea and do something but then quit and then a year later that idea will be revisited with other ideas that I have attempted... it is odd.
Maybe all these ideas - these pieces will all come together and make some larger, stronger body of work but then it is just hard to know when to look for a new piece so i can connect two sections together or.... if a piece I am hanging onto is just a transition piece... or from another puzzle =)
