I have noticed in my observational work, simple studies, eventually I realize that there is more to them but just a series of chairs, for example. I also know other people (also visiting artist Petah Coyne, check her work out!!!) who say that they work intuitively and then look back to really understand what they have been trying to tell themselves through their work.<BR/><BR/>whether or not the latter is the case for you, I'd say don't worry so much about it now. Artists do NOT create anything arbitrarily, even if they cannot articulate, or are totally unconscious of it, they have something to say, and it is just a matter of time.<BR/><BR/>tell kathleen i say hey.<BR/><BR/>love you, thanks for the stationary, you bet I'll be writing to you soon all over it.jen brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06145625098464420098noreply@blogger.com
