Learn your own process - trust your process.
In creating, once the work reveals its own identity, however obscurely, success is more often found, then seeking to reveal this identity, rather than imposing upon it one’s own feeble notions.
I need to allow this bird dancer to become the best expression of what this set of circumstances will permit. There might always be a “next time” for the wildness that I was seeking, that this bird does not seem to want to be. Softer palette, more reference to classical tutu that I have been consciously and subconsciously fighting.
However, once I sketched out a preliminary maquette, I saw a “something” there, that I hadn’t really originally envisioned. Need to allow the construction process to permit working the design as it moves forward.
Egad - it is really getting time to CUT!
