A New Journey

Today I did a bit of browsing on the internet for contemporary mixed media artists, just to get an idea of what's going on out there.  Finally, my faith in the artworld has been restore - at least for now.  I came across the work of American artist Dolan Geiman (www.dolangeiman.com).  His work is just fantastic - I love everything about it.  It has inspired me to work on some digital thumbnails for pieces to start once I return to my studio in the next couple of days.  For the last week or so I've been thinking about creating an American piece prominently featuring the US flag.  I didn't spend a lot of time on the sketch because I don't want to get too tied to an idea - once I start a piece there's sort of an automatic response that kicks in and takes the work to its finished state.  I think I want to explore assemblage with a lot of layering and relief.

I've also had another idea using a pic of my Gramma and Grandpa holding my Uncle
Rodney when he was a baby - it's a pic that I've mentioned before in this blog and which has featured in another piece of work.  For this piece I think I'm going to, again, use a bit of relief and assemblage with some distressing for a vintage look.  I also have a little note my Grandpa wrote to my Gramma that I'm going to somehow incorporate into the piece. I picked up some off-cuts of wood from a local lumber shop today - I'm eager to get back in the studio and get started!!
