Making art — working as an artist — is hard. Emotionally difficult and endlessly confusing. It shouldn’t be.

It’s not about making art, or being an artist; its abut making art and being an artist where the structures that connect us to one another, that give us a place in the social world, are tangled and broken. Endlessly subverted. It shouldn’t be like this–but it is.

I tell myself, that it’s not my fault. It’s not something I can correct in my self. Not a bad attitude I can fix. There is no ‘right place’ for what I do, for who I am.

Profoundly depressing.

9×12″ Pen & Ink, watercolor, Neocolor and wax crayons.The crayons were an accident, when I grabbed a Crayola thinking it was Neocolor–and realized my mistake when I tried to wash over it. But the way the texture of the Arches cold press caught the wax crayon pleased me–so I went with it!
