the tunnel - a photo on Flickriver

the tunnel

            I'm entering into a new period of my life. A time of massive exploration and fearless forward momentum. I will not be held back by expectations - of what my art "should" look like, of what it has always been, of who anyone thinks I am. This is a time of curiosity and playfulness, of failure and huge successes. I'm in a place where I feel entirely confident in my abilities - not that I will produce good work, but who needs more good work, anyway? But that I will produce interesting work - new, exciting to me, fulfilling in ways I've not experienced before. 

When I found this sewer, I urged my friends to come exploring inside it with me. We walked the length of it in pitch darkness and I could feel the buzz of creative necessity welling in me. I realized then, as I do so, so often, that I'm more attuned to action than a lot of people. My instinct told me to create - to birth into the world something that wasn't there before - but no one else felt that. I feel it all the time, from the tiniest moments of splashing in a puddle to touring grand ballrooms - my gut always tells me to create, to leave my mark, to explore. 

I think, after nearly 11 years of creating images, that I've come to terms with this quirk of mine. It is the reason I am difficult to be around and the reason some find it inspiring - because I am always called to passionate action.
