Ever since the Flagstaff Photography Portfolio Review, I have been thinking about my artwork in a new way.  It has allowed me to move away from some of the expansion I had done (illustration, photography, graphic design etc) and think about focusing just on what I do uniquely. I am thinking about a new series, either “naked skin” or “exposed” as a title, working with a fellow photographer I am thinking of doing photographic work of my scars and working with that as a base of my artwork. It would be something new and a bit different. It would push my boundaries of comfort and expand on my idea of uncovering that which we wish to hide, which for me is my scares and disability.

It is strange to talk about this idea that is just forming, still in bud form with out much support. It feels uncomfortable and at the same time exciting. It could be great, and it could be a total flop, but either way it can be brought into existence and the process who knows what will be learned? I feel like I am on the edge of lake, almost ready to take a plunge but fearful of the cold water that could take my breath away. Is it worth the risk of hyperthermia? Is it worth jumping in and taking a risk with the chance of total failure?
