Thoughts, first. Drawings as a tool to think. Engineering, structure, form, second. Dimensional and material, third. Content, including color, and surface, fourth. Presentation, and ambient spatial considerations, fifth. Inhabiting the idea from beginning to end.
Where do you find inspiration?Existential questions regarding apriori requisetes to being able to "have a thought" are inspirational. Phenomenology and philosophical readings AND misreadings can be source material at times. I use joy and work to shift my frequency, my vibration, toward exhalted states. Time stops.. Being "inside the work" is timeless. There is no other place I'd rather be.
What would you do with $25,000?I am currently working on several projects that could use cash infusions. I would like to make miniature forms from my outdoor sculpture works. I would also like to continue my painting series. And I'm setting up a new studio having just moved. Looking forward to making a new body of work....
