Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf has a line in it that describes Mrs Dalloways daughters future as, "acquiring a time of her own with all its promises and dangers". I like that idea a lot, that as you get older you acquire your own time, as if time is a self producing circle, in which you create your own circle, identical to the other but unable to exist in the same space.
I am nearing the end of the drawing and drawing nearer to completing the MA, the drawing has taken me about four weeks and it has grown into a companion of sorts, but it is odd to think that it will exist without me soon, that the drawing will acquire a time of its own, it already has in many ways. Drawing is an amazing medium for dealing with experience and experiences, if we allow the drawing to have a life of its own and just feed it daily.
