Heather,
I once read Inka Essenhigh say in in an interview that she feels like a kid when she described the narratives in her work, saying things like "this is the sun, this is the bad guy, etc." I know that you have certain narrative mantras when you work. How do you feel when you describe them to people? Or do you think it is important to?
Since living in Germany my drawings have become spare and direct, my English a bit more limited, and my German is basic, so in either language, discussions around the work are child-like, despite the fact that the content is catastrophic in nature. I'm not sure what you mean by mantras while I work Josh, I try to work in a wordless state of mind, analyzing formal issues, etc. before, after and between drawing sessions.
