Face update



Facial friction #3

Im begging to learn how far I can push a piece of paper before it is completely destroyed. I remember how I used to treat paper like a dried eggshell. So afraid to get dirty with it, and let go a little, stop overthinking it and just go for it. That's my biggest fear/ problem. I'll sit down to work on a piece and make a few marks step back and become paralized. Fetishizing over the next mark so much I never get to making it.

In these face drawings I have a loose system I follow, a system I play with allowing me to to ask. "Well, what if I do this before that? Will it then fail?"

Somebody said this some where: "There is no progress without failure." I'd like to add onto that "...and you must be willing to fail again and again in order to push things forward."
