These last couple years have been full of really short chapters. Or maybe not chapters, maybe section breaks.

[and now I think it's time for an end to the chapter]
It's nice that the future can be so uncertain but so full of potential at the same time. I am looking forward to my upcoming (plane/road) trip on thursday, spending time with my family and seeing old friends in michigan later this may, getting married to the best person ever, starting a new life with him and in general.
I can feel things bubbling in my mind, ideas of where I'd like to take my artwork, things I'd like to make and do. I'm thinking drawings on found or old paper (or objects?), something that already has a history attached to it and gets recontextualized when something new is added to it. Various collage elements, lots of layers. I want to do something with momentum, something I can come back to again and again, but still has enough room to evolve and grow on its own. I think I need to do some writing and sketching and photographing and I think going home will be a good time to do that. I will be unpacking and repacking and sorting and sifting and I hope it will all come together.
For now, I will try to enjoy the solitude. Allow little comforts, let things germinate. Big things are coming.

being on the brink of something exciting is fun but... not fun. haha.. i totally know what you mean. when you just feel like your going to burst with ideas but you have to wait to do them until later...
i am excited you are coming. i cant wait to see you!
I am 100% excited about your wedding! We were already planning on heading back to Michigan for the 4th of July, so your timing couldn't be better for us! Enjoy all the preparation and the momentum of days that lead to your wedding day! So excited to see you both in a few months! xoxo
Facing the future can always be such an uncertain thing. In three years, I will wonder too. For now, I'll enjoy the time I have to face exploration, etc.
