As Matisse got older he had difficulty painting while combating cancer and often worked at his bed.
So he started cutting with painted paper and scissors.
And created, Icarus.
"It enabled me to paint with color"- Matisse

If it could feed 110lb paper then I could print, cut, & glue my pop-up books above clouds.
Almost there, dreamy.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. Don’t settle.”
-Steve Jobs

That's what fascinates me-
to make something I can never be sure of and
no one else can either
that's the way art is you keep turning around and it will go on forever
there's no way of looking at a work of art by itself
it's not self evident it needs a history
it's a part of a whole man's life.

i thank You for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth
day of life and love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any - lifted from the no
of all nothing - human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
