next steps

these last few weeks of finishing touches, bringing things together, and finalizing/deciding on things leave me a bit fearful. everything i do now seems like i'm thinking of the end, and it feels like each thing could make or break. i am trying very hard to work honestly with myself. for example, i laid down some oil-inked text from a xerox on top of a gum print and it sort of didn't go as i had planned. and i was looking at it, and looking at it, and finally i realized i really didn't like it and now was the time to change it...so i did. and i'm much happier. i am starting to know what i like and don't like and decisions are often the hardest thing for me to do in making art.
