That...That's a perfect word, Jen...diffuse. That's exactly what I felt was happening & had some discomfort about that. I have no aims at all for a "body of work" ~ I only strive to DO the work. It can all define itself later, if it needs to, without my help. Coincidence (maybe?) that you mention mixed media artist, as I was trying to write up a little blurb about myself recently and that was the conclusion I came to. It was sort of freeing :>]]<br /><br />Already found your new blog link (I had to click on that beach photo with Stella!), but could tell you were not sharing it with the world yet.
