It’s been roughly twenty days since I wrote my post stating I would stay away from instagram and I’m happy to report that it’s been good so far. I made up a few simple rules :

0/ disable push notifications

1/no scrolling

2/no tapping around on the FYP

3/being intentional while being on the app, don’t let the mind wander

(isn’t it terrifying how much “we” lose ourselves in there?)

…and that’s about it.

On the other hand, I haven’t posted much on this blog, like I had promised. Writing is still intimidating.

Now for the updates: I’ve been working on a series of drawings that will be part of the upcoming group show called “Synthesize”, opening reception on March 27th at Madron Gallery. The show, curated by Rachel Wakeman, features the works of Margie Criner, Zach Balousek and John Upchurch and yours truly.

The four of us are musicians and visual artists, but we are also friends. While installing the show we saw many many connections appear in the works, a call and response of shapes, textures and colors. Kind of like an improv band finding their groove.

I can’t wait for the big reveal and to share more about the process! In the meantime, here’s one of the drawings from the show. It’s called “Contained”.
