The sketch that I made on Friday – material needs exercise 1 – is something that I have had in mind for a while … perhaps over a year. It felt very necessary to make is on Friday … to make something material, to get something out.
It brought to mind something that I made in my second year (maybe first year) at Dartington. The pieces are really that similar but there is a certain baroque-ness about them, an outpouring.
I wrote those two short paragraphs last week. I had thought to merely take a short break however I didn’t return to them and the post that I had imagined writing did not get written. I am getting used to knowing that my mother has cancer again, this time though it is not treatable. I am not going to write about that however I want to acknowledge it here.
