I was taken quite ill on Christmas Day, and as a result have not been up to doing any art or anything really over the holidays. Also, my usual art table relocated itself in November to a more private room, as I have been working from home. Its absence in the kitchen has led to an absence of art on my part as well.<\/p>\n<p>My intention with this little series was not to make New Year&#8217;s resolutions, but rather to play a little with art. I was sitting, thinking about how I am overdue to reinvent my art website, which led me to contemplate the point of having an art website if I don&#8217;t do any art. So I cut up a scrap of 300 lb watercolor paper I had narrowly saved from my five-year-old&#8217;s creative gaze earlier this month and made these.<\/p>\n<p>My husband caught me cutting these crooked papers out with the exacto knife without a ruler (using rulers and measuring devices don&#8217;t usually occur to me). So I don&#8217;t expect that this series will be of much value. But the process of making them helped me think through my new year&#8217;s thoughts.<br \/>\nI haven&#8217;t made any new year&#8217;s resolutions, and I don&#8217;t want to make the classic self-improvement or fitness goals. As I worked, I came across some phrases in my scraps of paper that resonated with me, and included them. For one thing I am hoping to draw nearer to God. Also, my experiences this past year have made me want to focus more on others &#8211; making others better and raising others up.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t quite decided how I will arrange these yet, but probably in a square, mounted on paper. I wanted to try to work small scale and on paper, rather than canvas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This evening, I was finally able to give some thought to the new year.
