Interestingly, having the entire day stretch out before me led me to not use the time as well. I took time to make bread, a friend came over for a bit, and I interacted with the folks working on the deck because I'm so fascinated by the process, I can't stay away! I realized today I hope they don't think I'm micromanaging - I just love seeing what's happening and how they're doing it. I never watched construction as a kid - I just thought a building magically appears and toilets never break and things never need fixing, because I have no clue who did that in our house! As an adult, it's been an interesting journey to figure out how to fix and build things - I feel lots of pride when I manage since I'm coming from a ZERO knowledge base!
Anyway, finally around 2 I got into the studio and felt called by the Citra Solv papers... Yesterday at the museum I'd seen a 3-D sculpture by Sanford Biggers. It's a geometric structure based on the Golden Mean, created out of 3/4" plywood (I'm guessing) and covered with quilts created by African Americans. I drew a sketch of it because it captivated me, and today I decided to try to recreate it in 2-D using the Citra Solv papers in place of quilts. Here's the result along with some close ups:
