In the field behind the cagesLet's talk about art. Let's talk about making art. I went through a slump about a year long. I never stopped experimenting, and I didn't stop producing, I just lost the motivation to finish things. And I started some pretty major pieces and lost the motivation to finish them, then started other things that didn't count for much. And I lost that thing that allows me to be totally enmeshed with my ideas.
And I read something about a Zen monk who stared at a wal for ten years to show his dedication. And I thought, fuck Maura, you gotta show your dedication to your work, and defeat these unhealthy connections that have been made around your work. And so I made a pledge to finish my most difficult project, which is learning a language that I invented. Basically, the idea is that it's simultaniously a journey of self discovery and self exile. I'm trying to alter the way I conceive thought into something that is entirely personal and foreign to everyone else.
So among other things, that's what's happening.

Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
