Watch this with silence. . Watch this with your palm pressed to your chest. . Watch this with slow deep breaths flowing through you. . Watch this with your eyes closed . Watch this with my touch on your back. . Watch this once again. :: #mortonsaltchildrensreligiousrevival :: #mscrr2018 #performanceart #meditation #abandonedplaces

I want to say all kinds of self deprecating things about the value of my work and my artistic voice and vision. Or rather the lack of value. I don’t think this picture is important. I like it, but the only reason for me to post it is for the ego boost from a handful of “likes”. :: After getting home from a movie tonight, I found myself scrolling through photos from the weekend, remembering how good I felt in the desert, wanting to recapture that feeling. I was surrounded by awesome people, I had ample time and energy to create, and I generally didn’t have to do anything I didn’t want to. :: Today is a different story. :: I can’t do everything I want. I don’t have the time and energy to properly take care of myself, much less create (although I do find myself sacrificing the former for the latter). I don’t have the emotional strength to open myself up to the people around me. I was icy to all my coworkers today. It felt crummy, but far less crummy than faking a good mood would have been. :: I have trouble being vulnerable in real life. I internalized the message that I need to take care of my own emotional needs and have all of my security and confidence be of my own creating. So this is my outlet. I feel briefly seen and heard, briefly soothed. Just enough to keep me going on in life, just enough to keep me coming back to my studio and trying to make an honest statement from the random firings of my neurons. :: #motiongraphics #emotiongraphics #arttherapy #animatedtype #typography #typeart #distortedmotion #saltonsea #doubleexposure #multiexposure #abstractphotography #experimentalphotography #slowshuttercam #mortonsaltchildrensreligiousrevival #mscrr2018
