In May and June 1981, I was teaching a graduate seminar on the roots of creativity in our place and family.
Students were to make a work or works of art exploring these elements in their lives.
I made these paintings to explore mine.

 
 

June 1, 1981. 
I wrote a set of principles for this work--
To dwell on a feeling or phrase, a gesture or sense of motion; and then at some point neither soon nor late, to walk into the interstices of this space and moment, there to dance suddenly, blindly, briefly with the Other as it reveals itself in the traces time and accident have left upon the surface.
