balance

job applications like crazy, trying to find balance between the work of teaching and the work of being an artist and making my own work is a constant challenge.  tired from teaching and tired from the studio are two different things, i long for the studio tired....

about how the artist "appeals to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty and pain...and to the subtle but invincible conviction of solidarity that knits together the loneliness of innumerable hearts, to the solidarity in dreams, in joys, in sorrow, in aspirations, in illusions, in hope, in fear which binds men to each other, which binds together all humanity-the dead to living the living to the unborn."-Conrad
