This weekend I spent hours trying to realize the right technique that would reproduce little scribbles from notebook margins as larger objects in space. The doodles I collected were mostly made during therapy sessions so they had some psychological drama. But nothing conveyed the immediacy of the pen marks. I tried wire of various weights, paper, ink, etc. I really felt that I was going to solve the challenge but I did not. I decided to leave it for another time.
I moved on to editing of a group of images I’m calling Data Pictures and in the process, discovered that there were many beautiful images I had overlooked while I was in pursuit of a particular thing. Sometimes when I get single minded and focussed on one idea, I miss a host of others. I never finished shooting the group, and I saw that there was more to do. I’m excited about making the rest of the images for this collection.
