I am searching for my (art) style. The Thousand Sketches was like a satellite view, a grand sweep of who I might be, a way of sorting land from sea.
I am searching by engaging in smaller projects. I can see where 5 years at university would come in handy though, this is hard work, time is only half of it. I have half a dozen scrappy projects on the go and need to wallow, play, explore, focus and get inspiration and tuition and critique on them all!
May be I need a better warm up. Yes I do.
How to engage the muse?
Maybe that is the title of the paper I am writing for the ANZPA Journal.
Maybe with that question in mind I might make sense of the following projects…
Where I am up to
Earth Crosses
in prints and also paint
Landscapes
A plan to produce a series of about 10 digital line & wash prints
Bush & plants
Like above, A plan to produce a series of about 10 digital somewhat abstract plant series
prints and have begun one in acrylic paint
Squares
I am aware I am drawn to the square format… the landscapes? Perhaps those prints need to be in three adjoining prints?
Presentation is on my mind, and I have just ordered 10 frames to work on a show of some sort.
Just as I want to focus on the above – and that is a lot of work! What happens: new styles emerge.
Let me post some in the posts ahead. Or would that be procrastinating?
