The Art Tank
Notes from the deep well of making.
This is where I write about the ongoing evolution of my creative practice. Here are stories from the studio, glimpses behind the curtain, and musings on art, life, and the strange, beautiful intersections between them. Sometimes it's personal. Sometimes it's practical. But always, it's a space for reflection, experimentation, and remembering why we make things at all. Read along, share your thoughts, or simply take what you need.
