asemically speaking
each piece: tempera on canvas, 12" x 12"
P.S. Julia Davies' asemic writing work has been, and I cannot state this emphatically enough, a HUGE influence on my recent painterly tangents. Without the introduction to the idea through her 100 Days work, I likely would have kept bumbling about in oblivion. I've played with this sort of thing for years--a "post-literate" language where language is left up to the reader or viewer. I had no idea this was something that already existed. I have every confidence that I will continue to move around inside it and push at it from every angle, long after 100 Days has wrapped.
not at all what i would consider a finished piece. or even one that feels good. it actually felt very disjointed, jerky almost in the moment. i know that shows. maybe tomorrow i can make it show something else.

tempera & watercolor on canvas, 12" x 12"
no external inspiration tonight, sorry. lots going on. marathonning fatigue. i did find out yesterday that my proposal for a night-time, light-incorporating project was approved and so you may see glimpses of that as we tumble towards the finish line.
I collect paint chips. I de-story books. I blow bubbles. I write poetry (mostly) and take pictures. I love vintage Pyrex and Hermosa Beach and mapping southern California. My alter-ego/better half is a fictional character I created named Stella. I write about Stella and her adventures and right now her adventures are set in the Salton Sea, another place I love. I make jellyfish.
I've been an art teacher, police dispatcher, floral designer, case manager, project manager, three-time AmeriCorps member and hopefully soon just a regular old administrator.
Wanna know a secret? I think I might have a little crush on you, but don't hold it against me.
