you as your own art project
July 14th, 2010
This is William’s tree. I chose and photographed and painted it back in the spring as part of a graduate color class. This tree, its versions, and all the things I learned while making it are forever linked to William.
The thing about art projects, I tell WIlliam and my students, is that the real result is you. You are your own project, I try to tell them.
And all those hours, choices, struggles—even those framed final pictures up on the wall or packed away—none of it matters as much in the end as what the making of it does in you.
