I would be lying if I said I weren't excited about the moves that I am making right now in the directions of art, but honestly, it feels kind of weird. I am never excited about art. At least not as much as I am now-a-days. Ever since a couple of weeks ago I decided to not hold my ambition back it seems as though things have been falling into place. Nothing significant. I just notice this new energy within myself. A renewed enthusiasm that was lost for many years.
I have always been enthusiastic about my art for the most part... Let me rephrase that... I have always been passionate when it came to my art whether it be negative or positive.
I feel something different about this new found energy. I am finding the will to push through new directions and towards ever increasing ambitious projects with complete recklessness. Ever since pushing to write that novel whether it be good or bad a new beginning has started where anything is possible. I think that Picasso's Marauders was my Everest.
I am now free from the shackles of self doubt at least when it comes to my creative exploits. My ability to multi-task creative projects is nearing an all time high, possibly even shattering previous personal bests.
In these last two weeks I have been cutting, sanding, burnishing zebra wood, solving the problems of constructing a wooden "U" that is 40 inches tall, carving a 18 inch table top, using drill presses, tablesaws, band saws, rasps, spray paint, wood glue, photoshop, and designing an alphabet book of all my work on the computer. This onslaught of creative energy is coming from places I have no idea along with co-writing a screen play.
These are all means to an end, but that end is what I am not sure of. All I know is that I am in desperate need of a warehouse to complete the upcoming projects that I have on my list that will be truly amazing. This top secret installation project I will only refer to as "The God Project". It is the only idea that I have never been able to visually imagine. Though earlier this week I stumbled upon a manufacturer that can supply the material I need to build this sculpture. After searching for ten years off and on I thought I'd give it another try two days ago and... BINGO! I found exactly what I was looking for. So now it is only a matter of time, money, and space before I can build it. That is fine with me because that now means it will be built. The only question is when... Not if.
