So i have finished three print projects in the last month or so which makes me super happy. I got all my work signed and have to put it up on my website. I also need to send some prints off to some Galleries and Museums for some potential shows. Other than that I am working on a 7 color print and another 24 x 38 big bones print. Very happy with how the halftones are coming out on these bigger one color prints. Also I love how the bone pattern is really developing. I feel I may need to start overlaying these bigger prints one on top of another. I had a happy accident in a test print and may follow that path and see where it takes me. I like the unexpected controlled chaos of what's happening with the patterns and of not knowing what's going to happen.
This 7 color print I am working on is going pretty amazing. Basically I found this awesome root system and modified it to make my natural background for the base of my bones. This background is a CMYK with three bone patterns dropped on top giving this piece a very chaotic and yet controlled visual, with the pattern and repetition of the bones and kaleidoscopic root system. I can't wait to see it come to life on the press. A computer is an awesome tool but cold when it comes to looking at artwork. To see a print come to life and feel its breath off the press is just an amazing feeling. Looking forward to finishing it. I feel like I need to get back in to sculpture more because of the plant life I feel I am missing. I also miss working with 3 dimensional form and I've been having tons of ideas and dreams of sculpture that haunt me. One of these ideas is getting into slip casting and start doing my sculptures in ceramic. Just another earth element calling out to me for some reason or another. I have had this idea for years and I'm really hoping I get to the studio and get this rolling. I think I would make some beautiful work but I have to get to the studio first. Well thats about it for now but hope to get back into studio soon!
