As usual I’m trying to do too many things. You can see the results here. There are hardly any posts.

Have I been risking?  yup

A quick overview:

- new issue of Toward the Light journal coming out this week > I interviewed Nick Bantock, agonized over how to write the interview which finally came out as a collage of sorts thanks to the amazing photographic work of Vincent L. Chan of  invisionation.com

- taking a mixed media class and finding the joys of plaster> I love texture!

- became a “director at large” with Sooke Community Arts Council and started a website for them (still under construction) but here it is sookecommunityarts.com

- the studio is almost completed> now it’s time to purge and organize all my stuff 

For those of you who wonder about what the plaster is about – have a look:

This is plaster on board. Thick and thin, scraped, pushed, prodded etc. Let is cure for a day and then paint.

I wasn’t sure what this was going to be. At one point I thought I would be attaching an object in the lower left corner.

Then I changed my mind….

So I started painting, adding color over color, sanding some away and adding more later…

… loving the texture…

more color

some thinking

overthinking

time to leave it alone for a while

then I noticed some text I had torn off some work of mine and added it to the piece “this is the journey”

I’m letting it incubate now.

more later …
