Bone Blog & the sense of completion.

Todays bone blog i share that for me there is seldom a true sense of completion in art.

A painting may dry

A sculpture may cool down in the kiln

A website blog may be published...or not...

...and yet something remains open.

Art is rarely finished in a way a task is finished. It does not arrive with a full stop. Rather it breathes and waits as it hangs quietly wherever it is left be it on the easel or on the wall.

websites need updating, Images need refining, collections ask to be continued, new beginnings whisper at the edge of what has just been completed.

There is always a next layer. It is an ongoing rhythm rather than a sense of restlessness.

Creative work has its own flavor of time-Subdued, deep and contemplative. It does not respond well to urgency. It begs immersion, silence and asks for patience.

There is nothing loud or dramatic about it. In that place refinement is the focus and adjustment reveal themselves, the work shows me what it needs.

Perhaps this is why i am so drawn tot he structure that comes with my atelier. A studio is a place of return and continuation and presence requires its own time.
