Letters and Numbers 5, 6 & 7

This one of three 11"x11" yupo, acrylic, collage and ink. I copied this Q&A from an article in a Parabola magazine on the subject of Threshold. Here I've used my personal form of markings...the divide bars and lines and numbers, all ways I connect with the passing of time and moving across thresholds.


This piece 11"x11", yupo, acrylic, collage and ink. Looking closely on the left side is the title to one of my favorite fables "Running Between Two Suns". I have been wanting to use this piece of plaid suiting for years and here I finally did. Again the markings, thresholds between two worlds.


This one 11"x11" yupo, acrylic, collage and ink. The conversation was strongly about words, letters markings. The left side has a collage copy of a fragment from Einstein's notes and the other side has a fence drawn by me in colored inks with my left hand as well as my own letters and numbers and marks. A combination of the complex and the simple in lines.

Probably over explained all my markings, thoughts, meditations and such....everyone has their own reactions to art. Mainly I wanted to share my process of ongoing conversations from within which guide my art making. I'm down to my last three of Yupo paper. It has been interesting and I will add yupo to my studio as an alternative to paper, canvas, foam core or panels. Actually I'm thinking of returning to boxes this summer...no end to studio fun!!

My World in the the letter C

I asked Jeane of ARTIT for a letter and before she had a chance to send it to me...I knew it would be a C. It's a funny family thing... the women in my family always get the best parking spots, always know who is calling before we answer the phone, little stuff like that, it's rather fun. I enjoyed thinking of c words, wonderful, sexy c words as well as some that just slide over your tongue, some that make you smile. Here is my very short list of c words:

Bad : cruel, critical, curt,cringe, crazy, contempt.

Good: collage, cosmetics,curiosity,

courage, crazy, conscious, creative, color, cloud, chocolate.

If you would like me to give you a letter, just ask!

Talked with Florie about her guest appearance and all the wonderful comments she has received and she said she would go online and read them all. Thank you. I will report back later this week on her reaction! She has a card line that is in specialty stores and has spent a good deal of her time preparing and participating in the county Art Studio Tour. Next month we have been juried into a "Collage & Assemblage" show and I will take my camera to the opening!

I had a great weekend...the rest I needed. Saturday, I spent the afternoon having an in the house "spa" day. Sunday, quiet, reading...pure peace. Out to dinner last night with a little champagne...perfect weekend.
