I'm on 'slow-forward' these days. Experiencing the usual artwork 'post-partum' depression as all the pieces I've been working on got delivered to their respective galleries. Severing the umbilical cord is never easy...so much meaning in the pieces, things I haven't even finished figuring out/reading...I'm always afraid to see them diluted, to have people not see/understand, and/or (worst)to start to forget it myself. No it's not about praise and selling and getting more galleries, though of course those things help. It's about trying to communicate something I feel deeply that I have no words for. And all I can do is wait and watch and be there if anyone feels/sees it and can find words. And hope I've had enough wine at the reception to feel comfortable speaking my mind if asked.;)Otherwise the receptions are just something to get 'through'and I always breathe a sigh of relief to get back to solitude.
Working on a cigar-box artwork for a charity auction (Hospice). Doing a 'Threads of Empathy' type connections within the box...perhaps the concept will be grasped easily and naturally in this setting rather than a commercial gallery. It's all fund-raising either way. This will just be apparent.
Took a Borders run. The book I special ordered 'In Her Hands: Craftswomen Changing the World' came in and I bought it with all the certificates I'd been saving for months. Now that I have it, (again), I want to give it to another friend (again) and I will have to order another one (again). It's just too inspiring and so good at putting things into perspective as to what I really want to do in this world as artist/fundraiser. If anyone's interested, you can go to www.herhands.org

I understand what your talking about, when saying goodbye to a work of art. I know how hard it has to be on you especialy. I hope that you'll feel better soon, but hey just think that one of your works will inspire somebody. :)
