Bigger, Better, Faster, Forever

It's been a slow incline, but I'm really sparking off the visual, pictures and textures colliding around in my head rather than words or punctuation. 

The picture I'm including with this post is from The Architecture of Analogy. It's more of a discourse than a website. I can't really explain it in full sentences so we'll use tags: PhD, architecture, analogy, sketches, mixed media, Aldo Rossi. For some reason it reminds me of Gormenghast. 

It articulates the current feeling that my work is getting larger, bolder. It's no accident that some people I know have me in their phones as 'Andy Warhol' rather than 'Jessica Maybury.' I have huge plans for the future, works to do that are on a scale I could never have imagined a few years ago - but, however, I need assistants, and thank God, I have them. 

Of course there is always need for expansion. 

I'm moving off the page and slipping onto walls, street corners, bus stops. 

All of that, though, those enormous undertakings, they would never take the place of the semicolon, the half-written, the atmospheric, the unsaid. 

Breaking out of one's physical confines is a difficult trick, though. I am not at all a person of boundless energy, or even temperament - hence the need for meticulous management of my time. It's a constant push to keep your vision fixed on, well, the vision.

2012, despite rather jagged beginnings, is going to be a very good year. 

isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?  - A.W.
