I'm quite disappointed that the sugar crystals do not seem to be forming in the really large container, so today I started making 5 smaller hanging armatures for growing sugar crystals.

Today I discovered a provocative artist named Máiréad Delaney. Her work is conceptually and aesthetically really strong.  One of the other collage artist brought me an older medical book with great illustrations. I spent the day cutting out slices of hearts. I didn't finish anything, but played around with a few different arrangements.  My work in progress.  Mark's continuing series on found objects.  Another of Mark's works  Without a doubt, my favorite of Mark's so far. I created metal stand-off spacers for "I Transition I". After looking through many fastener bins at the hardware store, I found a few different options, but they were too long. I decided to go the cheap route, but a lot more work! I bought an extra long bolt, cut it into four equal pieces, and drill small holes in one end. It took me much longer than expected.   I was drinking tea today and noticed the dried milk and sugar on a spoon rest. It was sitting near my recent edition of Sculpture magazine, which prompted me to take many pictures.   Today was curious in that I had some amazing experiences drawing, but ended up with little on the paper that I like.    My favorite of the day. Not only was the experience stellar, but the end result is not too bad.   Received my frames and experimented with different colors for the interior backing and sides. I also practiced painting on the back side of acetate and vellum.   I found a picture of a painting by Hermann Nitsch. I've always liked his work, but this looks so much more controlled than I'm used to. I want to do a little research later.  I was curious about this artist as well, Thomas Wilfred. He seems to paint with light, but will have to check out his website.  I'm really enjoying working with tar. It is spontaneous, but extremely messy.  |
