I use these envelopes as if they’re tubes of paint.
Like paint chips.
There is no perfect painting and there is no perfect solution.
At any given moment, there's ten pieces of paper that I could pick up next
and they would find their place
and they would lead me on a different path
to a different sort of picture.
I just have to trust that process.
In relinquishing some control, it allows me some distance.
I start to feel like the artwork is responding to me,
giving me something back
or becoming something that I never expected.
I enjoy that moment of not recognizing my own hand.
