Art Spirit: #144 December 4 , 2008

#144 December 4 , 2008

So for the past several days, I've watched the movie CHICAGO -- admittedly---several times. There are so many great songs and scenes in CHICAGO-- one that is really wonderful is when Richard Gere is in the courtroom singing --- "give the ol' razzle dazzle.." and the courtroom is turned into a three ring circus --- The song is in my mind.

cut_paper

It feels like forever ago when I started cutting into my drawings to create a more layered and puzzle like image. I have always resonated with the idea of building an image" or "carving it out". The cut paper is interesting because for my practice it touches upon sculptural, painting and drawing sensibilities.

100 things

The volume of work that it takes to get to 100. The cleanness of 100 . The marathon of thought and application it takes to achieve 100 of something has always had an allure for me . I made 100 drawings years go. I carefully numbered them. It was interesting. So I thought I would seek to "know" painting through making hundreds of things.

artists

It is hard to pin point any one artist that has influenced my practice , my vision . I always joke that it was the sisters at St. Anne's Catholic Church Saturday art classes that influenced my start. On the following pages is a "living" list of images that have come along to influence to generate ideas and to create approaches.

student art work

The following album is a collection of selected student works in progress and completed. We always have a great time in the studio/classroom. At times, it feels like walking through mud ... but when we arrive we all celebrate , sometimes quietly, the challenges that we faced and moved confidently through.
