| NEWEST WORK |
|
| My latest pieces - from
August 2009 - two bodies of work: |
| Friends & Stuff - 7 pieces,
and Fly Me to the Moon (triptych) |
|
| The inspiration came from watching a breaking-artist-block
demonstration a while back, for acrylic products, which I rarely use; being a printmaker
I use inks primarily. |
| |
| These pieces on watercolor paper (140 pound ) began as
pencil drawings, tracing around and overlapping random shapes, grabbed from the "junk drawer",
table top and my pocket. Cell phone, glasses, small garden clippers, spatulas, tea pot
tops - various small items. More or less large doodles on a lazy day.
|
| |
| For 2 - 3 weeks these basic drawings on white
paper sat around propped up as I wondered what to do with them next. As some
of the shapes began to resemble animals and birds, Friends & Stuff came about by
using colored pens, acrylic paint as washes, collage - my own handmade paper &
monotypes, along with found papers. Fly Me to the Moon which is a small
triptych resulted from cutting a large piece apart, discarding the fourth
part, and then using mainly scraps as collage and black ink to outline.
|
| |
| I realized as I'd finished
the lot, photographed all, framed one and placed it in
a show, that I truly had experienced breaking "artist's
block". |
