process in the process
Buried in both the shop and the studio the past week and a half many things have been made and are being made… from boxes to new surfaces… and even a few finished mixed media paintings. I have found that I have more intrigued by abstract surfaces that evolve from layering metal and wood, paper and text… and yet still I fall into old habits of representational work… strong images of jars flowers black birds silos and weathervanes always arise/arrive. None the less, I am pleased with the daily ebb and flow of building sanding layering and uncovering. Below are 17 of the 40+ pieces I am currently working on… 16 a, 16b, and 16c are the same piece with different objects layered in which I am considering…
To stay inspired while working my current listening list includes:
Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus (soundtrack for the film)
The Proposition (soundtrack by Nick Cave)
and a little Tom Waits ,Cowboy Junkies, Billy Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald in there as well…
