I am pleased to announce my participation in the Lucid Arts Foundation Alumni Artist-in-Residency exhibition (Group 3) currently on line HERE.
December 1, 2020 - January 3, 2021
Five years since my residency there. I went back to the blog archives, dated November 8, 2015 to recall the experience. Fascinating to relook and see the threads in my current work from that time.
Words I wrote: I will source possibilities for methods and materials from the place—its history, language, landscapes and natural processes.
i will work towards shaping moments and finding ways and forms that express the movements “between”—looking at rocks and stones that reflect frozen moments for inspiration in a changing landscape.
Recallng some explorations there:
Deconstructing 1970s vintage development maps of Pt. Reyes Peninsula. I wondered how this exercise might influence my constructions.
Light Studies, following and tracing the changing light, discovering forms using pen and masking tape. A way to think about transient moments.
Crumpling paper—an impulse out of the blue. A way to think about natural processes and moments when this impulse might occur.
Five years later:
Still breaking apart conventional forms and discovering alternative shapes for constructions.
Crumpling in different ways and discovering how to use these processes in my constructions and artist books.
