Thinking by doing.

I found this phrase in my notebook (unreferenced!!). Seemed at least like a place to begin.

Start with a seed

Accept what comes

Repeat

Started with a mandala print then spent the day expanding it.

WHAT YOU MAY FIND

You may find inside my studio:

awkward beginnings and a graveyard of ideas; tears and frustrations and whooping euphoria; drawings, diagrams, lists and words assisting in discovery; conversations with coffee and beer to comfort; materials attempting to become and patterns being undone.

This is a place that honours the labour, the questions, the failure and the wonder of discovery that is the fragile creative process of making art.
