Seven Churches – beginning to assemble parts
It’s funny how things change on their own. I feel like I’m working on a living being, I understand a little about how some musicians or authors talk about their work as “girls” and “boys” – there is a personality behind it. I think that has something to do with how incredibly therapeutic the process of creation can be; I was watching Top Chef this week, and Lisa (who I’m not a fan of) was commenting in the final episode about how when she’s stressed or upset, the food she prepares in that state won’t taste good. I know that sounds simple and a little unrefined, but I get it. I think it’s true. I think it’s about balance for me. I’m in a good place, but I think I’m probably in a good place because I’m pouring things into this painting that I’m not really able to articulate yet. When it’s done, I think there will be a moment of clarity where I’ll be capable of stepping back and saying, “Oh, yeah – this must be about that.”
Whatever my subconscious is trying to say in this piece, what I’m excited about is finally finding a way to say things from a negative point of view in a positive way. I hope that’s reflected in the end result. It’s not about judging the Christian church, it’s about challenging it.
