TRANSITION

0 Comments

 
I started work on a new small sculpture piece. The black sphere needs another coat of paint on the inside.

I also altered a small piece for the installation Lay Still that will receive the rubber tubing.

The Ft. Wayne Art Museum had some amazing pieces to see. Here are a few discoveries:
Picture
Jane O'Neal "Dead Apple Cactus Flower"
Picture
Unknown to me
Picture
Kirsty Mitchell "The Secret Locked in the Roots of the Kingdom", 2014

This incredibly fantastic photo is quite large and the detail was astounding. This inspired me to look up more of her work on-line. I am a fan!

In the art museum's gift shop, there were these nice sculptures by Mary Pat Wallen. Obviously she is inspired by Giacometti.

My mom and I visited Wabash Indiana to look at a bunch of public sculptures, which were okay. However, the best find of the day was in an antique shop and discovered some outsider/folk art in a back room. So bizarre!

While in the Midwest, I attempted to take pictures of an approaching thunderstorm. It moved so fast that it was difficult to capture. Here is the best picture from the bunch.

​I was also intrigued about this sculpture by Kevin Francis Gray called Ghost Boy.

​Finally, this new genres installation by Baseera Khan called Braidrage also looks cool. I'd love to see the performance live.

After my last attempt, which ended in an over-blended painting (see earlier blogpost), I attempted to restrain my desire to get rid of hard edges. I'm pretty happy with this.
