flipping through old notebooks and finding drawings from ages ago..
I love finding old drawings -- when i see them, i can always remember clearly where i was, what i was doing, at the moment i was making them. time moves in such funny rivers otherwise, that its nice to have these footholds.
Just also wanted to share an agnes martin quote i read today:
"There’s nobody living who couldn’t stand all afternoon in front of a waterfall .... Anyone who can sit on a stone in a field awhile can see my painting. Nature is like parting a curtain, you go into it .... as you would cross an empty beach to look at the ocean.It’s not about facts, it’s about feelings. It’s about remembering feelings and happiness. A definition of art is that it makes concrete our most subtle emotions. I think the highest form of art is music. It’s the most abstract of all art expression."
