have faith in what you immediately recognize,
in the particular longings that you feel.
facing a sheer sky. slow things down. be really clear, failure is okay.
you are my still lake
our bodies are permeable. so being in that quality of light is such an experience. the light penetrates -we are made of water and light particles
always feel it and respond to it.

how much space can a line hold before it disintegrates? good at getting in the body. transfer of energy. space. breath. thinking about marfa and frozen cornstalks, colors of AW and the desert, tea gesso charcoal.
what is the attentive presence?
do I get there at my house? Drawing is such a relief, It can be mine for a long time. I can sit with this for a while. I want this work to record and trigger a body response, a memory, an emotion.
Something about the looking can be as deep as the love. that it can carry you. It's so amazing to be here, in a relationship with so much space. Back in yoga-- 6 weeks or 7. Drawing. In meetings with the city about art and water. I love these days in the studio where we get to think about and ask central questions. (clear mind, wild heart)
I love the scratchy, searching, nervy line- love being this quiet and watchful. What is it? I hope I provide that space for my friends and my students. Tomorrow, back to smaller scale-- how much space? What is the ephemeral? How much is enough? Seams of bones knitting together, an abutment, fraying, disintegrating.
Skies, lying down, looking at birds in flight
fluid city, art practice.
with nothing to opose we have nothing to grab hold of.
