About this work
Some works never offer the satisfaction of feeling complete. For a long time, I mistook that feeling for failure. I assumed there was one more decision that would finally resolve everything the painting had been asking of me.
This work quietly changed my mind. I don't know that it is finished. I only know that I reached the point where I could no longer improve it honestly. There is a difference.
There comes a point when another decision is no longer an act of care. It's simply another decision. Learning to recognize that moment has become part of the work.
