Nope, I did not stop making art
just a break to
flow with the world
to create with fabric
thread
with my hands
always my hands
a break, a breath
the studio is set up differently
with a separate room
built new
clean, white
for resin coating
flowing paint
fun
joy
enjoyment
very big
and really tiny
life is
details
the paint bottles got opened today
a way was found
for protecting
the cast on the
fractured finger
new details, a new way of using
something new
never bevor was it used
but there is potential
details of another sort
comfortable
right
fitting
yet always, first there is hesitation
then knowing, trusting, doing
another way
to show detail
by showing
a detail of life
a moment
of my life
and
so many others
neve really
alone
8"x8" in total size with all the other parts of the piece.
and another design
to make myself
feel better!
Listening to: Sins of our Fathers.
Working
Creating
so much
New palett colours slipping out
of my hands
my head
my mind
my soul
Not yet ready
to be show to
you and
the world.
keeping it close to
me and only showing to a selected few
But here for you...
beginnings
again that now
are now not total beginnings any more
but becoming
works
of my soul
art
Experimenting to grow
to learn
to make richer
layers of life
surfaces to go above
and below
Reading and
sketching
deepening
the connection of
everything
These past weeks listening to: Einstein: His Life and Universe and The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
There has been
doing at the studio
doing with paint
doing with creativity
doing with wool
wool to keep the flow
the way one strand of yarn
flows around in circles
circles of my thoughts
creation
becoming
playing
spur of the moment
collecting elements
letting them find their place
to make happy a very special somebody
that in turn is giving a precious something
too
going fishing for "remembering fishing with dad"
my dad only fished
as a young man
and a nest with baby hair
und eggs
beginning more
for the family that the baby lives with
that contributed its hair
because he is the first of more
flower in colours
so sweet and
different for me
in love
I am with it and
much more will come
Transformation
winter to spring
materials through creativity
and technical input
into
creation
images made on the papers with no idea yet how to proceed, just taking them in, observing
Setting up and sorting through collage elements, some of these have been around for a while. Every time I create the images on paper I also play and create freely, using my personal symbols and background textures.
After creating a background on a wooden panel, I start laying out the images and let them speak to me.
Background painted, images laid out, title ready
"Memories of Fishing with Dad".
Background painted, images laid out, title ready.
Next steps are to stitch the papers together, laminate them to the panels, paint away.
Final outcome: TBD, it is still in the ether, waiting to be found.
In 2009, there was some playing at the studio
Old photographs, reworked with sandpaper, paints, fun, process. Inspiration for new direction of work, or simply having fun and nothing creatively is ever wasted. Everything leads to something. What--time will tell-or show-or sneakily insert into other pieces.... stay on your toes, you do not know what you might see.
