I've been back from Omega a week and still haven't really caught my breath. Larry left early tonight to go into the city for a karate event that's required for black belts, but I decided to skip out this year in favor of some quiet time.
It was the week of Riva, with my birthday on Thursday, so this is a nice way to wrap it up. It's a bit astonishing to me that after two weeks of at least 3 hours, sometimes 6 or more, of art a day, I am back into a time of no art making.
It was a short week, with Memorial Day at the front end, so I didn't really get a full day off to devote to art making. Perhaps next week will there will be more breathing room.
Omega was wonderful of course. This year even more than last in different ways. The workshops I presented were much more exciting, and I felt much calmer in the presentation of them. Much more in my own skin. Much more confident that I was opening up new worlds. It felt like I got a lot more work done this year, but somehow it didn't look it when I unpacked. I may just expect more of myself now, since I am working more consistently overall.
I'm onto a whole new series of lint work which I am pretty excited about, although it is a bit - how can I call it? - well, it's saleable looking. The pieces are square, tile like, on cardboard from Hudson Valley Materials Exchange, that is quite three dimensional, so it has some depth. And I've played around with wax, and glue in new ways. As soon as I can get Larry to take some pics, I'll upload.
I can tell by my writing that I've not had enough contemplative time, as I'm not really getting to the crux of things here. Just telling trivia. I will get back to this when I feel more in that skin.
