Raw Beginnings


Sometimes I arrive at the end stage of a piece and grieve its raw beginnings. The initial sketch of a form is a pure thing. There are no layers invested in its being. It is a skeleton without flesh. Tactile with its lumps and bulges I wonder if I should embrace its incompleteness and let it live as is. Only I can see its fleshy future.
