I was working on some new designs today and thinking about how much I love the pieces I've made that came together in the moment, sort of out of the blue. I love abstract paintings because they seem to really capture that... and it's so fascinating how your brain makes sense of a picture that doesn't have images that it's used to seeing. I saw an exhibit of work by Sigrid Burton a couple of years ago, and it has really stayed with me... her pieces are so ethereal and beautiful - they make me think of the Cocteau Twins. I think maybe I'm fascinated with the abstract because it seems like there's no planning involved... and there's something really fun and even sacred in the unplanned.
