This is my last week of studio time at the McColl Center. It has been great. One part is longing to stay the other is ready for a new challenge, maybe a little closer to home = the hour commute most days has gotten very old, especially with gas so costly. A couple of my works from the "Pillar and Pedestal" have sold and some of the others are destined for upcoming shows so I won't have to fill both guest bathtubs with artwork. My own walls are full and temperature controlled storage is more that I want to spend. Loaning out to friends might work but remembering who has what is another mind-boggler.
The newest work is about tying up all the loose ends when you start or stop something. "Containing Energy" is a monoprint using two different plates and miscellaneous stamps made from EZ-cut plates. I think of it as a visual reminder to save some (energy) for other things. I like the thick lassoing line and the energy in the background areas caused by purposely poor printing of the first plate.
Well back to packing. Soon.
