I've never been a jewelry wearer. Definitely not fond of anything drapped around my neck. No chains. I've worn bracelets which were gifts and a ring on occasion, but finding rings for me has always been a challenge. Every few years I get this idea about making my own rings, then it passes. Recently though that changed when I made a ring during my creative partner’s (TK) workshop at our Art Compund. We used epoxy clay and upon manipulating the material in real time I was able to invision different processes to craft unique pieces. I basically only needed to get started and without any idea or plan for design the action was catalyst to ignite my minds engine. Similar to the majority of creative work I do these newly fashioned rings were made in a very free stream of conscious way. 

I'd spent close to an hour penning this post to share with you all that would explain my path to start painting again and the obstacles which led me to stop to begin with. Then I lost it. Our patterns persist until we acknowledge them and with a desre to cease doing things which impede our progression we take the proper steps to change. Or in this case specifically, we write everything in a doc which autosaves then copy and paste the text.

Apologies. I'll write something extra interestng next go out. Until then, find your enigmatic exuberance.

One of many favorite photos of mine taken at AM:PM Gallery on Marcy in Brooklyn. A candid image of two figures posing for photos but not for my lens. I love it. The energy of this moment ephemeral resonants here: at least for me. It was a priviledge to capture.
