thinking bout:
"What happens when we are required to keep in constant contact with _______?"
Filling in the blank is always amusing and the answers change by the day, by the hour. The possibilities are endless.

These improvised studies explore magnified expressions and isolated aspects of each our personalities. I am learning more about the players as people and the way in which we each deal with what is presented. It is profound to watch the performers develop within a given study. It is truly living and breathing. As a result, perspective and perception- physical and emotion- are lingering around our thoughts.

"What do we present and what do we perceive on our way to defining what we are and what "it" is?" deliberation, struggle, contentment, engagement, separation.

Also, the idea that it all has to make some sort of sense is totally out the window for me. I look at what we dig up and I piece it together. It's okay to create your own puzzle and solve it yourself and the pieces don't actually have to seamlessly fit together to create a beautiful thought. Making beautiful (or not so beautiful, but still beautiful) images and finding new ways to communicate is this process. "What does it mean
?" doesn't mean anything. Art making is like magic- it's mystical and phenomenal. yes.

P. S. Matthew Baker has also joined the process and we are more than thrilled!!

Here is another taste:
