I've been working pretty steadily for the last two days. I'm just getting back into drawing and ink work. Right now I've just been just drawing what I see but later today will start drawing from my imagination. I want to be able to put this collection of images together in some sort of landscape. I'm working as automatically as I can right now - just doing what comes over me. I'm trying to explore concepts of narrative and story telling ... but in a way that has me relinquish control over what is coming out.At any rate, the residency is going well so far. I'm fighting being aware of the deadline of the exhibition. I think I'd be trying even more techniques and ideas if I didn't need to produce enough pieces to fill a gallery space in four weeks. (And three days but who's counting.) But I'm finding that a good chunk of my day is spent planning and thinking about the show, and the little details that go along with it. Which is fine.
Each new day I notice the sun coming up a little earlier. We are gaining somewhere around 8 minutes of sunlight each day. It changes quickly up here.
