about twenty years ago when i had a wood burning stove i tore and burned about a hundred paintings on paper. it was a great cleansing and i really had to stop myself or i would have burned everything. i have never missed what was tossed on the fire. i no longer heat with wood and we are forbidden to build bonfires because of the fire danger, but i sometimes wish for that old stove in moments of dispair. still at times i have torn up drawings and put them in the trash when i felt they belonged there.
