What's next?

It seems we have all taken a break from blogging for a bit this summer. I am "recovering" from my exhibit in June. It takes a while to gear up again and start working in the studio after the huge effort that a show entails, at least for me. I feel a bit lost. But I do have several project waiting in the studio, so it's just about getting back in there and sitting down and start doing. Maybe tomorrow...

I'm posting a few images of some of the pieces that were in the show at Gallery A.

This one is called Lingonberries. It sold.

This may be my favorite. It's called Missing Winter. It sold too!

These are Three Water Jars. Full of the colors of the Caribbean.

This one is a bit different from what I have been making in the last few years. I made four figurative pieces for this show. It was fun. This is Reggae.

So what's next is starting work on the Fine theme of Mapping. I have a piece already, which I will take as my starting point. Here it is:

This piece is called Grid, which says it all...

I made the piece out of wire, like I always use for my armatures. I like the armatures so much that I decided not to cover one for a change, so I instead just wrapped it with cloth and then painted it with acrylic paint. Making it a wall piece is also a bit of a new path for me. It's a very different challenge making two dimensional pieces compared to making three dimensional ones. I guess I think more in 3-D. But I like 2-D. It's fun to give yourself a challenge. 

Going forward, I plan to make more pieces in this series, perhaps filling in some of the spaces with stitched pieces.
