My name is Jessica, and I am beginning again in a new blog on the internet world. I have been blogging for at least 5 years, maybe even 6 or 7, without really knowing always why I do it. It connects me with other people, it makes me feel a part of things, and I enjoy typing.
I have shut down my previous journal and let it go away. I am making room for a new kind of blogging, one with a kind of specific purpose.
This blog is a daily log of my artistic process and ideas integrated into my everyday life. I am making my artwork more consciously a part of who I am and and where I go and what I do.
I am not saying that this is not the way it always has been, I am just saying that I haven't been paying close enough attention.
This blog will be a daily journey through images I find, or images I make.
I am moving forward in my life towards buying land and building a house that I design myself. I want to live in a certain kind of environment, so I've decided that this will be what I spend my time working on.
Rules.
I want this blog to be different, so let's see. This blog is not for me to just carelessly vomit in about problems, or useless thoughts. I feel like those things may come up, but they must be connected with an art related idea. If not, they will not be here.
How am I connecting my inner ideology, mythology, and desires with my reality?
On that note, above is a part of my recent painting "The Great Meeting". It is about trees implanted in their own boats sailing to an island where lonely, treeless lighthouses are waiting hopelessly for something else other than pebbles to lay on the ground.
The trees aren't just going to this island, they are going to many different places, and they each have a different personality. Some of them wanted to uproot, and some of them were very resistant. Many of them love the sea air, but some are cold, or dislike salt water.
Some of them are going to islands, or mountains, but some will sail forever, because they are sailor trees.
The sailing trees will be journeying all throughout the night. I wonder where they will be in the morning?
