I don't know how time goes so fast but its been over a month since I wrote anything... Its difficult trying to put my thoughts down on a daily basis but I'm trying hard to continue this exercise as it helps me understand my art better and where I would like it to go...
Above is a complete or near complete version of Construction Deconstruction. I'm not particularly happy with it. I learned a lot but it feels... off... Maybe with a frame it will all pull together but as it is there is something lacking to me... Maybe I'm just sick of water colors...
What I do like about this painting is that it triggered an idea in my head to let go of the city. To become lost in the abstraction and release this desire to imitate something familiar and safe. I love the concept of the city but as I delve further into its abstraction I'm finding something more appealing.
Letting go of the old structure I've allowed myself to step into the space in a more dramatic way. To arrange forms in a way that has no rules or boundaries. Why talk about abstracting the city if I never step away from the basic structure of a city.
So this is what it is and I'm not sure its much... but its a step away from where I was and another step towards where I want to go. I feel lost.
