In DEEP

Sorry for the delay in writing. I never realize how much family vacations take to plan and execute. Our trip to Holden Beach, NC was fun but now I really need a vacation! Granddaughter loved the sand but was not much for the waves.
The October issue of DEEP magazinehttp://www.deepmag.com/ is out. It is not an easy magazine to find but it is a classy magazine. It can be found at Barnes and Noble in the regional or fashion section or at Books-a-Million in the fashion section. My work is on pages 46-51 with three of those pages being full color images of my work and the commentary makes me sound smarter that I am. I did say those things but the arrangement is extraordinary.Interesting enough the "Pillars and Pedestal" work is the only work recently to be accepted into shows. I shouldn't complain because they are winning awards and being seen but it does make me wonder if I'm just a flash in the pan and I'll never measure up to this series. I could continue on in the same direction...that is not my style. When I have had my fill of the subject it almost makes me ill to try to squeeze one more out. So, I will move on and brave the rejections. I make art because I love solving problems visually and expressing my thoughts symbolically. I hate repetition. I'm working in my head on a new idea based on the fact that I love working on paper but I dislike having to always frame it for preservation(costly and too sterile). so, how can I make art on paper and preserve it without framing??? I'll keep you informed about my ideas.
