Feeling pretty tired of shilling/promoting my work.
Creating it and sharing it is super energizing and exciting. Worrying about sales is soul deadening. Often, my excitement to share work/ideas feels potentially detrimental to sales (which is really kinda fucked up.)

Sweet Sunday!
'Infinities' is evolving into something beyond what I originally intended. I'm seeing subthemes (e.g. strands, smoke, manifolds, chords, fractals, etc,) emerge and am feeling a very strong desire (obsession) to embrace/nurture them/the process.

I'm a total painting geek, and I tend to like the paintings in museums that most visitors, without a similarly geeky painting background, walk right by. On my most recent visit to Tate Modern, it's a small Morandi (one that I've seen numerous times before) that I was most excited
CyberCity will be my follow-up to Mappings.
