In the Studio

........you know the need for place of solitude to get the head into gear to create ... much of the time is in the preparation ... I have my studio time and Its a transitional time  .... Huge drawings are quite draining even in their exposure - I guess the intricacies of the human condition and archetypes forming in themselves ...weird surreal divergences..... untimely dense compositions. . ..I have had many studios,  tiny and huge. eccentric places, freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer....constantly sweeping up flies and sometimes dead birds. I remonstrate a lot but love it . Its through solitude - and creativity where there is  much to learn from entering pits of being  and somehow finding there is a new place of beauty beyond .......this meandering in my day,  I will go with more depth later re the next drawing..which is finding its way through formlessness .My fingernails a denser shade of pigment dust .
