There's not much to say here other than our absence is proof that the pits and falls are everywhere. This spring has been wonderful in many ways. I've continued to try to make work in the tiny crevices of time that pop up unexpectedly, even pulling my first all nighter in over fifteen years. I'm an early riser and normally work before anyone else is up.

I pulled an edition of prints based off of a hand colored wood cut. It was nice to sink into technical problem solving and let the larger Sisyphean ideas roll on down the hill and fester for a while. I feel like my ideas are getting broader. The space between gloom and joy seems more than enough to try and decipher with image.
