52 Works in 52 Weeks
Create 52 works in 52 weeks! This pursuit arose after emerging victoriously from a particularly character-building period of life.
In returning to my studio practice, I considered narrative realism demanded too much preparation and planning. Worn out from an extended rebuild of my home whilst living in it, I opted to pursue abstraction. Knowing that abstraction was not easy, I gave myself an extended time of studio play with no expectations other than to see where it all might lead if I pushed myself to create one abstract each week. Importantly, I am motivated by having a specific goal.
