About me….
I’m at a place in my life where I have been—or should be—engaged in downsizing. So why am I adding the work of creating a website, and the responsibility for maintaining it to the other work of my daily life?
In the process of perusing the stuff I’m thinking of including on the site, I think I’m finding the answer. Or a partial answer.
I’ve accumulated lots of paper in the past 40 years: drawings, watercolors, bits of writing. Much of it is in portfolios, drawing pads, notebooks, file drawers, stacks, piles. The prospect of sorting through it is very daunting to me, and I fear that if I dropped off the face of the earth anytime soon, it would also be terribly daunting for my daughter, who has a life of her own. So creation of this website is part of an attempt to put “the stuff” of my life together in some sort of navigable form. And these days, it’s possible on so many levels to lighten one’s life load a bit by turning material stuff into digital stuff.
I’m feeling lighter already.
