Over the past months I've been writing far more than painting; notebooks scattered around my pillows, tucked in travel bags, hovering around in my car. I've been incredibly annoyed with the frequency I've been able to get to my studio, so luckily a pen and paper provide a similar outlet.
Opposed to the prose I usually write alongside my paintings, I've been working on an experimental set of short stories. Dialogue hardly exists within them, rather details and a train of consciousness paints the story. I've been moving a lot lately, kind of homeless feeling despite the fact that I'm currently renting out three spaces to reside within. I enjoy not being tied to anything, it's a liberating feeling, and these stories deal with my subconscious curiosity and fear of the opposite. What if I did sleep in only one place throughout the week while working only one job in only one county in this state? What if I spent the majority of my time with a relatively stable set of the same people, what if I stated put for a moment...what if I tried. I don't know what it would be like, I specifically haven't tried, but the stories are an outlet for something I question but don't currently desire. Kind of, anyway, in a loose and vague sense.
I'm posting one of the many here, it's very short, and since they're experimental I'd love any feedback at all, I'm absolutely open to it. Hope you enjoy, read it after the jump (the Read More link).
