sketch a day: day six

all day, a monster bird walking through my mind. a fuzzy--less scary monster kind and more haphazard monster kind--bird monster.


Equally in my mind space, I was thinking about this project called "before I die"and how much I wish I could organize something with that same spirit, that same intention of setting intentions and considering (shaping?) perspective.
 It's a really moving installation, enough to make me wonder what my own work is doing and how it's functioning to comment. In my mind--with the monster bird--I go back and forth between the necessity to make something that "does something." I worry, a lot actually, about obligation. Can you have urgency, authenticity, the things that make a piece stand out if the work itself does not "do" or "want" or "comment"?

Regardless, the project is a great testament to how we can alter spaces--internally and externally. How we can create (and recreate) a space for something.
