New Art, Works on Paper
What I've found as an artist is that the glamorous stereotype usually associated with the artist's life is a complete farce. It's an ongoing struggle between life and work and work that one calls art. Sadly, the non-utilitarian nature of art (not that I believe it to be that...) sometimes forces me to work in spurts to finally put into a painting or drawing what has been rolling around in my mind for many months.
The ink painting above is part of a new series of works on paper that will be opening tomorrow night (Oct. 13) at Folktown Counseling in the Ballard neighborhood, Seattle. This one is titled "Prostrate."
I don't have alot of words to ascribe to these pieces, I've simply been visualizing them for quite a while. They do reflect my ongoing obsession with lanscape and figurative work, the "human landscape" as I like to call it.
* Also, now that I finally have some works I feel good about from this last winter and this month you can look for my website to take on a whole new look very soon.
