‘A commitment of full attention’
I have been checking out some of the 3-minute egg talks on the Magical Secrets printmaking web site. There's one called "Taking Time" (it's in two parts), and it makes a really important yet easily forgotten or overlooked point. To paraphrase: The amount of time actually spent making a work of art isn’t so important;… Continue reading ‘A commitment of full attention’
Shifts.
The past two weeks have been strange and difficult in some ways. On the one hand, I've found it easier than I expected to be a non-smoker, and my wounds from last week are nearly healed.

Now that I’m feeling better, a miscellany
Currently listening to SomaFM: Mission Control. Very soothing and abstract. This morning I hit the snooze so many times that it finally resulted in a portion of a dream in which I was trying to organize some clothes into a wardrobe in my dorm room, while also wondering why the hell its previous occupant had… Continue reading Now that I’m feeling better, a miscellany
