The photographer Barbara Rowland was such a talented presence in our art community. I met her at the first Project Space, some years ago. She walked around and around Salem taking photos, was never without a camera. Because she was a wily photographer she was also good at avoiding being photographed herself…but I did get […]
Meeting yesterday to plan this summer’s “Project Space 4” (check here for Project Space 3)…the usual culprits and some new faces… with unique seating possibilities offered… Today out to lunch at the restaurant located where “Morton’s” used to be… It’s called “Broken Bread” and here’s the menu…same staircase but new interior paint: I had the […]
I’m a big believer in 15 minutes a day…that’s how I got painting again in the mid 1990’s after a 10 year hiatus (and opening a restaurant…that slowed me down a bit). Lately I’ve been looking at quilting blogs and have enjoyed Victoria’s 15 minute play. I decided to head to the sewing room daily […]
PHEW. Finished up today and removed the mess and most of the stuff leaving only the following: the former double wedding ring and a detail of same and the collages neatly installed in a book for easy viewing
Paula and I worked for quite a while today…she preparing for a show, me just keeping on. She’s finding the large walls and open spaces in PS3 to be a tonic: I started the day thinking I’d make collages, but instead went straight to reassembling the double wedding ring:
Tuesday was a work day at PS3 with all five collaborators there at once (for few minutes…). Barbara brought a journal she found at the Goodwill it got me thinking of some small collages Paula found a color range that looked good and started working (you can see her foot and her shadow…) Sadie painted […]
Today I moved into PS 3 where I’ll work for a month with other artists including Corrie Loomis-Dietz, Paula Booth, Barbara Rowland. I’ll have two projects going which will include the old double wedding ring top: (which looks better in this photo than in real life…) which I plan to cut up and reassemble without […]
Zoomed by Project Space yesterday and LOVED Michael Boonstra’s video water piece…nobody could avoid jumping into the video water:
Over at Project Space 3 the studio artists met this week. Sadie went WAY over in the corner to play her music while I began to get interested in shadows. Here’s Layne’s
Wow a wonderful evening. Mike Nord and Makoto Matsushima gave a wonderful improv performance Wednesday night in Project Space playing off of the Rachel and Adam Rothstein construction we’ve been watching go up. Adam and Rachel were there to answer questions, and to see their piece used as inspiration for the performance. The audience was […]
