press conference
What news are you making?
sitting and waiting
acorns left on the pavement
squirrel gathering
…
the formalities
will always be
the same
where news
is ready to be shared
but it’s up to us on what
news we spread
living with
What are you carrying?
dried grass
acceptance comes
after the rain
…
a chip on our shoulder
or the weight
of great expectations
is a sign of
how little or
how much attention
is put on us
just because
How are you different from others?
walking past the dock
a seal bobbing it’s head
a gull cries for food
…
a pair of apples
will grow and be harvested
from the same tree
doesn’t mean
they will have the same
appearance
texture or taste
no constraints
What is your work process?
house by the river
a never ending battle
with racoon neighbors
…
might sound good
on paper
but what we end up
missing out on
without having limitations
is the opportunity to train
our creative spirit
discussion
How do you understand others?
field of rice
a highway for
water striders
…
we aren’t looking
to find a solution
nor agree or disagree
we simply want
to be understood
by other’s and
they to us
if it breaks
What do you do if something breaks?
trial and error
the manual camera
returns to the shelf
…
it breaks
then we can try
to repair it ourselves
or find an expert
that can fix it
there are always options
before replacing things
dull > sharp
When do you use one over the other?
yesterday’s puddle
the water reveals
an oil painting
…
depending on
what we are drawing
a dull pencil could be
a better option
than the later when it comes
to drawing a base layer
glazing, blending, or burnishing
making honey
What do you need in order to create?
overcast
the clouds whisper
and shed tears
…
when under
the right conditions
in our environment
we can create or see
pretty amazing things
with or without
wishing for it to happen
the park bench
Are you waiting for something?
distant fountain
from the wings
of a duck
…
has experienced
many days of rain
sitting in vain
from summer to fall
or perhaps this is
what we call
waiting
