As I was drinking my coffee this morning, I thought about how– when I was doing the “Things Are Alive” series of drawings– I had connected with the intention that gave birth to the mass-produced bench on our back deck. I realized that the intention of a thing is reflected in that thing. It makes me want to reflect on the intention for my drawing this week so that I have it clearly set when I begin. Because the drawing will reflect my intention no matter how conscious it is. I would like it to be conscious.
