Corona Journal Entry Major scramble to get to this spot on the other side of the quarry which I had observed Monday. Climbing, descending. Rubber boots (two sizes too big - Bean boots need restitching but workshop closed due to Covid). Tired legs from major training ride. That spot seemed so close - but was SO not. Pouring rain. I was good with that – fun expedition. Set up under a tree to help my umbrella stability. No way to step back and get perspective on this piece. Despite full gear, was still very cold. More crazy weather. Worked fast. Hard problems to solve. Though a gray day (light is constant) the rain was a total wild card. And the wind. Sometimes placid and sometimes rough water. I worked from the in-between moments when the granite face was reflecting but blurry with light rain. Once again, making art imitates life. § Hard to get perspective in the moment but rewarded for making the best of difficult conditions. I know I only have a sliver of awareness right now of what we will eventually make of this Corona Chapter, or where it will go, though trying hard to make sense of it.
