on a journey

When traveling, I often choose abstract sketches, and I know a viewer won't recognize where I was. No familiar coastline, no clear architecture. But to me, every blotch is a place: I know exactly where I painted what, on which bench, in which light.

I learn by failing, by looking at what the paper itself decides. Sometimes the paint does something I didn't intend but do recognize, a movement more precise than my intention. I use the sketchbook to create something beautiful and to discover everything that can happen between my hand and the paper.

painting

I think by painting. Where words get stuck, the watercolor moves on. It forces me to make choices, to pay attention, to find a concentration that pushes all the background noise away. By the time a sketch is finished, or has failed, I have found my way out. Not because I solved it, but because for a moment, I was somewhere else.
