Much as I love color, once in a while I like to go monochrome. Here's a little patch of rockweed in Black and White.

Rockweed - Egg Wrack - Bladder Wrack... the many names for this seaweed that I love the most. I find it therapeutic and satisfying to work on these digital drawings. They are built up in many layers - then using a subtractive method they are excavated and pared down to their essence.
My outdoor studio is a move-able feast... Today I decided to clean up our act on the beach path. All detritus collected and carried to the beginning of the path to be re-organized. All buoys attached to the beach hut now, which I love because it helps it to look less like an out house. Ha ha...
All other items will be disbursed throughout PIE in the hopes of sublimation... A few of my most recent chainsaw carvings. I also use the bandsaw to add texture, and/or smooth rough edges. This is part of an ongoing series of objects. Pictured here:
Double Bowl - Pinard Horn - Chalice - Trough - Double Cup Verisimilitude is not my goal... I am after a hint, a gesture, a suggestion of form... a stoicism and certainty of identity still... These objects know what they are, they know where they stand. While at the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona on our 14 year delayed honeymoon, we toured the process gallery and many things struck me, but one in articular really struck a chord. He used string and weights to measure the arches he wanted to make. It is fantastic as an art piece in itself, never mind an incredibly inventive method to determine an architectural structure. Wne I was at a time in my life that I was drinking a lot of tea, I woud dry out the tea bags probalby thinking I would compost them, but as they collected and formed a beauriful array, I felt the connection to Gaudi, and began making this homage to him.
A little something different, Images transfers... I have done them before, but using different media and methods. These are done with a synthetic gelatin plate and magazine images. Not precious, and addicting to make. I do not see them going much further than this stage of play... but it is FUN! You never know how they'll turn out, and I love that!
