My studio has gotten out of control lately so I am having to purge, shuffle, and rework the space. Nobody is around but me this weekend so the organizational process is flowing out into the hallway! I do have a plan of attack though, a map of sorts. Hopefully I will surface again soon...
I've been up in the mountains, art directing a photo shoot for the past couple of days. The 3-hour drive was inspiring... great colors, beautiful weather, crazy geologic formations to admire. (I need to get out more!)
Finally got my collage mounted and off to the National Collage Society Small Works Show. I've titled this one "Impressions." It's just 4 x 6 inches. I did several but could only send one... I've enjoyed working on them.
I have been thinking about a series of collages related to growth, plant forms, roots, etc. That's probably why I am so taken with the seedlings that sit in the window at the end of my desk! Last year when I planted the seeds they took over a month to sprout. Somehow these are up and unfolding within a week. The shapes of the new leaves and the pliable stems stretching toward the light are beautiful and changing hourly it seems! It feels like a science experiment...
