A little ink painting I did on the night of my lithography assessment, just added to my Etsy shop. It felt good to do something so quick and expressive after months of process oriented printmaking.
This reminds me of something that happened at uni a couple of months ago. I was talking with a couple of the other second years — one does very abstract and expressive work, is quiet and reserved, and has a wickedly dry sense of humour; the other does really beautiful, intricate, precise work. The latter person was talking about how her partner is trying to teach her to be more expressive in her work, and she said that she doesn’t think she’s made an expressive mark since early high school.
About a minute later, the other student, maintaining a perfectly straight face, replied with, “What, when somebody bumped you…?”
For about a week, no matter where I was, I would think of that and burst into loud, uncontrollable laugher. It was brilliant.
