Most of the people who read this blog know that at one time I was much heavier. What they don't know is that starting as a child, I was an avid artist. I stopped in 2007 cold and never picked up a brush or touched clay again. I don't know why. In 2010, I destroyed my entire portfolio. Again, I don't know why but I do know it was a part of a huge purge of belongings that seemed to be tying me to a painful past that I needed to let go. It was literally and figuratively, taking out the trash. The sculpture pictured here is part of what I destroyed. The paintings and drawing were not as they were sold as commissioned work years earlier. Sometimes you just need to cauterize the wounds of the past.
I had no idea that I still had these images anywhere but I found them saved in an album on facebook. This is far from the scope of what I produced, only the couple of pics that I ever loaded to facebook. I guess that site is good for something.
For your enjoyment:
Some decisions you live to regret. This may be one of those. The jury is still out.
We change sometimes so that we can do something different. You can go backwards or forwards and still be the same person.
