“Step by step, we make our way.” — Proverb
Sometimes the process of creation mirrors the process of life; we choose to trust rather than control, and allow emergence rather than following a set plan. Built through collage, sanding, and gestural mark-making, this piece (companion to “Feeling for Stones”), shifted like currents, creating eddies of contrast between depth and openness. What appeared was not a fixed image but the sensation of being mid-journey, suspended between one shore and the other.
The surface evokes water in flux, restless yet directional. Marks feel like tentative steps, testing unseen ground, holding both uncertainty and assurance. A thread of crimson carries through the cooler tones, a vital spark anchoring the flow. It is a work that rests on thresholds, on the act of moving forward when clarity is not yet fully visible.
Finding My Way embodies the quiet courage of trust — the sense that even when the full path is unseen, each step taken brings one closer to the far shore. It speaks of movement as an act of faith, and of how progress often lies in the willingness to keep going, step by step.
