I also feel completely uninterested in boxes. I gave them up during the panini. The moment I feel that people expect something from me in a certain style I want to run. I feel trapped and squirmy. But it's interesting…as I'm settling into some illustrative, folk art styling I'm really feeling myself soften and explore. There seems to be a lot more room for me to exist in the space of folk. I'm not sure if that is me feeling comfortable in a more traditional craft, or surrounded by other women artists. I'm not sure what about folk art makes me feel so comfortable. But it does. And I'm done trying to be something different. Yes, I might explore other forms of expression, but it is interesting to see where we keep coming back.
Also, I love reading your writing! It's so great to have multiple avenues of self-expression!
I love your box drawings! This is where "secret art" comes in for me I think... why does it have to be "secret" though??
