I’ve always admired the works of Alexander Calder, the man behind the large orange sculpture titled “Eagle” at the Olympic Sculpture Park. I think his quote below explains how we’ve been feeling lately. Jon’s been making cardboard guitar sculptures in his spare time. They are amazing but hard for him to explain in words. While I seem to be stuck in the “thinking stage” for personal photo projects and painting. Perhaps the answer is to not title a project or try to explain or validate it, rather just keep making things that excite you (just because).
“When an artist explains what he is doing, he usually has to do one of two things: either scrap what he has explained, or make his work fit in with the explanation”. -Alexander Calder
