2016 — A Brief Opening
These two art journal pages, made in the same notebook as I'd begun in 2015, are a bit different from my usual approach.
They are more spiritual tributes than classic journal pages. I made them in the fall of 2016, during a breather in that roller-coaster of a year. 2016 was (heretically) an excellent year for me, and these two pages were an attempt to sew together the material reality of an art journal, with the deeply internal and esoteric path I'd been walking.
They are essentially a thumbprint, deliberately placed on the clay pot of the year.
Then I went back to my writing.
