I have just finished reading "Becoming" by Michelle Obama.
Toward the end she writes "For me, becoming isn't about arriving, or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self........It's all a process, steps along a path. Becoming is never giving up on the idea that there's more growing to be done".
This resonated with me; It is how I feel about my art making - the continual investigation, experimenting while pushing boundaries as I search for my authenticity in mark making.
It is often painful and frustrating, However, it is also exciting when creativity kicks in with marks appearing on paper from a place of subconscious process whilst 'letting go'.
