Inbetween the projects before me, there is time to find my own images. I finished this one earlier today, after about four or five months of going back and forth to the canvas. I posted quite awhile ago what I was starting with… And here we are.
I was talking the other day with my friend Heidi about the process of showing our creative work and what goes on inside our heads. On the one hand, you want people to love it and tell you so, on the other hand, you don’t care or want to care, and on another hand (it’s a group thing) you just want to do it for yourself. That last hand, that’s the good one. One of my best (and most lucrative) shows was one which resulted out of a summer’s worth of just painting for myself and taking my time with it all, even though family and friends thought I was a bit crazy for it. I’m coming back to that with glee. No, not that televised glee… my own.
It’s 9″ x 12″; acrylic, metallic paints and paint pen, and goes for $200 US. That would be about 370.000 pesos Colombian. And ‘Secret Sex‘? Secret from who? Secret how? And if you start finding out about it, what does it become then? No longer the same thing, maybe still a secret – just a different one.
