June 26, 2025 – Submergence
Today I began the first movements on canvas, guided by that quiet intuitive pull. I’m using acrylics. The light blue came first—not a decision, really, more of a response. As soon as it settled in my mind, I knew the texture had to be primed. This particular layering process started years ago, born accidentally during a piece of folk art. What began as a mistake became a signature—something I now return to with care.
It’s a tactile act, prepping the surface, coaxing the canvas into dimensional readiness. Each layer—visible or not—is its own event. And I know I’ll be introducing more of this as I go. More texture, more submersion, more willingness to let the process write its own logic.
That’s the rhythm right now: discovering meaning through the hidden layers. Sometimes it’s deliberate. Sometimes its memory resurfaced through touch. Always, it’s becoming.
