Same Not Sane

Leafy layers of tracing paper with final modifications blanket my studio. When this design is finished, I will have one more print to go.

I lay in bed this morning with my eyes closed for half an hour letting impressions of that final print soak into the backs of my eyelids. These images are elusive and transforming. Remember that Michael Jackson video where one person morphed into the next, over and overโ€”Black or White? Like that.

The trick is to jot these ideas down without indulging in them just yet. I'm saving the last print for dessert.

One petal reads "Yes," the other says "Same"โ€”don't mistake it for "Sane." I'm not there yet, but getting very close.
