Today, someone called me a “fellow guardian of open inquiry and conceptual collaboration.” While experimenting with natural pigments on an altered book page I came across some words I had coated several days before with a clear acrylic medium:

Thus, in their own terms
stand like guardians
certainly one of the major achievements

As I washed pigment over the top of the paper today, and saw those words pop out I felt them more deeply. Sometimes, our next role or sense of identity or mission comes from an unexpected place. Creative practices make room for that possibility. I am curious to see how this page evolves and to play more with these new paints from www.fortheloveofsoil.org
