“Where have you dripped?”
I’ve been trying to conceptualize the next step in my dripping motif. Establishing the elusive elegance of mortality in the drips is one thing. The visual tension between what is there and what is fleeting. I’m considering taking the motif further with the idea, “where have you dripped?”. Unlike dust, humans have (or have the potential to have) an impact on their environment, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Even as our flesh slowly flees the earth, we leave residue, we leave evidence, we leave drips.
In thinking of composition and subject matter I think this will become an integral theme in my work. Would love to hear your thoughts.


I was dripping in a breadfruit tree, leaving a trail from sky to sea
