Day 350 of Year 2 (Actually Day 355)
“And now I understand something so frightening & wonderful-
how the mind clings to the road it knows,
rushing through crossroads, sticking
like lint to the familiar.” --- Mary Oliver, Blue Pastures (found on Good Reads)
Only 15 days to two years of this monotype of the day project! It's time to reassess. Where do I go from here? Continue, stop, or reimagine? Some days I think of expanding this project to include other types of work like painting or sculpture, more of a daily art post. Other days, I want to keep the stream to monotypes because this project is like a daily journal and I enjoy seeing my progression over time. A few months ago, I was looking forward to stopping at two years, I felt frustrated and blocked. But I stayed through that intensely uncomfortable feeling and now I know I must go on. The idea of stopping feels like tearing a piece of my life force away. I would love to hear your suggestions / thoughts on how to proceed from here. Continue with monotypes or expand to more types of art? xoxo
