#departure – @nickkahler on Tumblr

I can’t bear to have it there in front of me.... [When] I’ve finished something I discover it’s just a basis for what I’ve got to do next. It’s never anything more than a point of departure.... Do I have to remind you that what I detest most is lasting?

A lot of times for me, when I start a new project, it begins with a specific, singular visual image. That typically becomes the point of departure for a lengthy process of research that leads me into new places and different layers.
