an exploration into a childhood medium
Picture
This summer, I am covering my hands in paste and digging in to paper mâché.
Elevating this medium to fine art presents a challenge as it can be hard to resist to play and create something for pure fun...but I am feeling a deeper connection to the newspaper that I am using to create the forms and patterns. 
Printed news seems like a dying art with the digital age in full force .. and with the age of "fake news" buzzing in recent years...elevating print news holds a certain importance to me.  Recycled news doesn't have to be just a bird cage liner.

    NOTES & SKETCHBOOK


    Excerpts from:
    Ask Me About My Art  / 2020

    ​

    Where does your inspiration come from? 

          "Everywhere! That's a bit of a tough question because inspiration is fluid and constantly evolving and it changes minute to minute, hour by hour.  I could be passionate about circles one day and trip over a rock and obsess about the color of that particular rock for a decade.  It's a constant surprise for me, that's what makes life, and art... interesting and beautiful."

    What is your creative process?
           "Well, that might be an entire separate book! I guess the simple answer is that I dump the things that clutter my brain into art so I can make room to upload all the new things." 

    What medium do you primarily work in?
          "Depends on the subject, the colors I am drawn to that day, the subject I'm looking at and whatever it is that is inspiring me at that moment...I use whatever tool necessary to best convey the story, image, or message.  I do seem to have a comfort level with acrylic on canvas, written word or digital photography, I frequently lean on and return to those tools after trying a few other things."
