Some news:  I’ve just received acceptance from the Vermont Studio Center for a six-week artist residency in December!  Check it out at www.vermontstudiocenter.org

New Linear Works

Upon return from the beautiful country of France, I returned to work with a new awareness of the commodity of clear tar gel meium in foreign countries.  I paid what I pay for a gallon to obtain a less than a quart-sized container full from an art store in Marseille.  It was even preused.  In honor of my first U.S. tar gel shipment, I present a couple new paintings.  I’m still uploading stuff.

Here’s the latest drizzle inspired by the campaign trail.

Art From Lacoste

It’s been awhile since I’ve done an art update, so from the idyllic mountain village of Lacoste, FR, I give you the latest.  Some of it’s finished, some not.

Dec.

It is December.  Things happen this December:  My mother’s birthday, I go to France to visit my boyfriend, do an internship at Galerie Sollertis, and a program in Lacoste through SCAD.  Also, my installation gets published on the front of Carnegie Hall’s playbill.  Check it out- go take in a show in NYC   then send me a copy because I don’t know if they’re going to.

Expanded Crowd Portrait (unfinished)

Monotype of a crowd scene made with one line, cut apart, and mounted, and placed in proportional placement according to a larger version of the same picture.

Study for Viennese Ball

Viennese Ball

This study is of a crowd, but done upside down so that when painted, the string hangs up.

Polyethylene oxide

Mostly I am writing this so it won’t get lost in my many haphazard notes, I won’t forget to expand on this later. The installation work I have done involved a single light source that is impeded by the frequency of a crowd in the form of proxies of paint-dipped floral wire. I want to use the idea of light and transfer it to the idea of flow, which would add a dimension of infinity to the “instances” of crowd flow that are frozen in the form of patterns. I will add polyethylene oxide, in the grand tradition of the artist Gyula Kosice.

Also, “Binary Definitions” play an important role in my work.  I realized this in the very beginning but have forgotten in all the jumble of ideas that are trying to play themselves out.
