Ok, so here it goes. I'm feeling like I want to publish these, although at least the work above is, sad to say, a continuing work in progress. I'll search through my computer collection of images and see if I can locate some earlier versions of this. It is, I feel, productive to look at the path a piece takes. Doing this work without tracing the evolution almost denies the process. Well, maybe that's a bit strong but picture making for me is a process containing (hopefully) a gradual recognition of what's going on, sort of. I search through planes of balance, symmetry, color and sometimes symbol. This is what this is right now!

Well, this one is in the same category as her partner...except that it has a lot less activity in terms of floating objects with rough similarity to flowers and leaves in addition to flowing ball bearings. I think I know where I'm headed, visually speaking, with this. Symbolically, well that's maybe a different story. Just another Venus? I see her that way but she's coiled, almost avoiding discovery, floating and not attached.........
Two "modernist" landscape inspired pictures are below. The horizon with the hills challenged me and in a flourish last week I made changes I think resolve it. Anyway, I'm going to hang it over the living room sofa!
The rising horizon looks almost a tropical setting but the inspiration was a trip to the hill town of Conway. Actually finished it a few months ago; just got around to taking this photograph today!

Lastly (for today/Page 2 tomorrow!) something I worked on for over a year before sorting it out. |
