An image from a dozen years ago reminds me of how many small experiments I made to retain dexterity, to improve skill at paper manipulation, and to reinforce my confidence that intuition is worthy of trust. Over a thousand miniatures, probably more. It was necessary to counteract “The Runaway Machine,” and the practice revealed a path to my current focus as a collage artist. Talent has its limitations and is often over-rated, but creative development can be ongoing and boundless. I am grateful that it works this way.
