Process 2021

The piece is finished, what about the reflection?

This reflection is a response to some thought processes that have been looping for the last five years. 

I often find myself interested in a thing, and the love of that thing generates a bigger scale of things - which is its own thing. And that thing is influenced by a lot of things beyond my control and desire - and sometimes I lose track of the thing I was first interested in. Once the whole thing is finished, there is a process of reflection that somehow judges the entirety of that entity - and in that judgement there are some kids and there are sun-beds and other random influences that affect the love of the next thing. 

And that, in its wholeness, repeats for every project - every month and every day - and I'm not sure where it's going, other than continually gaining mass.

This piece is an attempt to pause before moving on, so as to not to carry all of the things with me into the next project.
