THE HARD WORK
Today was spent putting together an artist statement and bio. I gathered up info from my websites and blogs, along with looking at what some other artists do when they compose these kinds of writings. Like many of my artist friends and colleagues I am a shamefully...
EXHIBIT NO. ELEVEN
A change of pace today. Doing art with Todd in the morning. I like it. We ate some english muffins from M J Bread (absolutely delicious). The weather was nice and we left the door open, something that does not happen in Phoenix too often. Continuing with the next...
EXHIBIT NO. TEN
The dominoes were placed in the grate by some anonymous hand. We don't know if they were old when they were placed there, or if they got old sitting in the grate for over 40 or 50 years. When Mary found them they looked almost burnt, the white paint on the recesses...
JACOB GETS SOME PRINTS READY
We spent a few hours today getting some prints done for my husband, Jacob (who is also an artist). Our friend, Mary C. Leto, will be taking a booth at In the Spirit, the Art and Craft of Hand Papermaking, sponsored by Friends of Dard Hunter, in Atlanta. She kindly...
GETTING MY HANDS DIRTY ON MONDAYS
I love the feel of clay and the way you can manipulate it into a three dimensional space. I have missed that feeling and so signed myself into an open studio space. Most of the people in the class are potters on the wheel with the exception of one man and myself. I...
PORTRAITS OF AGEISM
MAKING POST CARDSPart of the "job" of making art is also the marketing of it. There are many ways to get your work on the internet and do some self promotion. For the portraits of ageism I decided to do a simple glossy post card. There are so many coffee shops and...
IN THE TRENCHES MARY’S PAGES
In creating this page Mary wanted to show how the babies at Hart Island really had no place for someone to see where they were buried. She writes on the tissue-paper, thin "ghost" of a tombstone "NO story, NO obituary, NO service, NO headstone, NO marker, NO visitors,...
IN THE TRENCHES PAGES 11 & 12
Each trench can contain 1000 bodies, so to indicate the numbers I stacked the cutout pages on top of one another and stamped a baby's head on the top of each. Using an old children's primer for the pages I thought that these children never had a chance to grow up, to...
NOOKS AND CRANNIES AT THE LIBRARY
Saw the exhibit called Nooks and Crannies yesterday at the Phoenix Public Library (Burton Barr) showing the paintings of Barbara Kemp Cowlin. They include a lot of familiar corners to us living here, the spaces from the Phoenix Art Museum. In her own words Barbara...
COFFEE GROUNDS AFFIRMATION
If you look close you can see two figures, each carrying a book under their arm walking to the right.
IN THE TRENCHES MARY’S PAGES
Mary sent me some photos by email of what she has worked on. I am amazed and awed by her work. When ever I see what she has done it inspires me to work even harder. She is truly one of my muses and an incredibly talented artist.She has created a series of trenches...
IN THE TRENCHES PAGES 7, 8, 9 & 10
Mary and I decided that the book needed to have some facing pages that go together along with the individual pages we are creating. That made me think that maybe a line up of baby feet with toe tags would be a good idea for that, but I wasn't sure how I would...
