materialization

there is power in giving tangible form to the intangible. if i may be autobiographical for a moment -- all too often i have been satisfied with the notion that "i could do" something rather than doing that thing. i've probably painted about 35 paintings since march of this year ranging from 24"x40" to 35"x50". i have never produced work so aggressively or quickly, and i'm surprised by a phenomenon -- the more i produce, the more i understand the importance of producing my work.

  1. in one respect it makes me jealous of your chosen form- you don't have to recruit an armada of supporting roles (cast, crew, box office) to see something you're envisioning. in another respect, i realize that my involvement in the theatre partly derives from that mandatory socialization. i think it much more fearless to paint.
