untitled 14x13” collage on paper
i added into the red block below
1:03 PM: mikela came over this morning before i got to work. she hadn’t been to the studio in a while (it’s only 500 ft. from the house!) so her feedback was very useful, as she was seeing the newer pieces for the first time.
one thing we both agreed upon, was that w-cup 3 was a flop & needed to be painted over, which i’ve been doing fro the past 3 hours. i like what’s happened thus far, and i may leave it as is. it has elements of yesterday’s tokyo olympics 6, but with a much bolder composition. and i thought tokyo olympics 6 was bold!
something is happening in my consciousness that i’m not going to try and understand or analyze. let it be.
that said, there’s definitely a synthesis happening, of the work i’ve done over the decades.
i actually started the day by making significant additions to a collage on paper i’ve been working on, on and off for over a month. i think it opened the door to what i then did on tokyo olympics 7.
