I began this collage thinking simply of getting down to business. This thought quickly evolved into thoughts about the best way for me to work. As everything came together I got a sense that what my work time was missing. When I was a young gymnast my coach would say ‘put a finish on it’ referring to that ending flourish at the end of a skill or routine, a little something I’ve been neglecting in my daily routines. It isn’t so much the work it self, but the act of working that I need to tie up. The same way I don’t count my laundry being done until the clean cloths are put away, nor can I look at a day of creative work as being over until my notes are filed and supplies put away. Sure I might be in the middle of something, but while the thought can wear till tomorrow the mess doesn’t have to.
