This was where it all began. I mixed paint with a glazing medium and used a straw to blow it across the paper — an effort-intensive process that demanded a lot from me physically. The paint resisted. It moved, but on its own terms, not mine. I loved what emerged, even knowing it wasn't quite what I was chasing. Sometimes the first attempt is less about arrival and more about learning what direction to walk in.
