Beginning an exploration of fabric I am slow to start and it took everything for me to stay with the studio work for even an hour without wondering around , turning on and then turning off the TV. But here I am starting and this is good. I have been thinking along time about working with fabric and fibers. The act of sewing for me is sort of out of control, reckless and the line is really very interesting. I don't want to say too much just yet. Only that I really love the sound of the sewing machine and the possibilities of image making ahead.
Elizabeth Buhr : past and current work
- The works on paper are painted with acrylic paint using drawing and cut paper. The work is a prayer, a moment in time and a bringing together of a personal/ universal visual language from the landscape, the natural world. The images of the natural world, which are cut into the painted surface.
a drawing a day
- "Do not fail to do something everyday, for no matter how little, it will do you a world of good." Cennino Cennini I'm making a drawing each day for a year. Here are the rules: I have to make a drawing each day. That's it ... no more rules then that.
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.
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.
