We are just gonna say it: August...absolutely... kicked our butts.
It’s like when you're creating something, it doesn't quite turn out how you want it to - like that painting in the studio that you just can't look at anymore because you've struggled so much with it - you just have to put it away for a while and come back to it.
. . . So we did. It was especially disappointing because we had such high hopes for August.
However, things are in the upswing - we will have a full serving and a Color Theory episode in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, here is a Patreon exclusive we managed to put together from a segment we just couldn't fit into a full episode...on Dorothea Tanning's time in Sedona Arizona, and the prismatic-abstract-but-not-that-abstract work she made as a result of her time there (which we LOVE).
Anyway, we're going to try and enjoy what’s left of August...which is…*checks calendar* … OH GOD.
...we'd love to know what you thought about Dorothea's prismatic works as well... let us know!
