[Beautiful Mess Inside :: To see the progress of this piece, go here.]
"If I'm going to do something that could be provocative or artistically relevant, I have to be prepared to put myself in a place where I feel unsafe, not completely in control. I have no fear of failure whatsoever, because often out of that uncertainty something is salvaged, something that is worthwhile comes about. There is no progress without failure. And each failure is a lesson learned. Unnecessary failures are the ones where an artist tries to second guess an audience's taste, and little comes out of that situation except a kind of inward humiliation." ~ David Bowie
In the midst of all the adventures I'm currently having in the studio, much goodness abounds...
* A feature about the 100 Books Project is in the current issue of Somerset Studio.
* An essay about my very personal foray into collage journaling - and how it led to the creation of Ordinary Sparkling Moments - is in the current issue of Art Journaling.
* My latest essay is up in the Wish Studio.
* Many of my latest creations will be up for grabs at a show at my studio Saturday, July 17th, 2010. The show will be that evening - details forthcoming!
* Have you registered for the Fall Squam Art Workshops? There are still spots left in my Book in a Day class with Marisa Haedike!
* And I apologize for teasing, but an insanely exciting development for the studio is taking shape and I'll be announcing it right here at the beginning of next week. I'm giddy!
I see why you have such a hold on this piece. I love it as well!

So Bowie is a vehicle for divine inspiration...much like yourself. ;)
Humility is undervalued.
Can't wait to see what you've been up to!
