This is my adventure into creating an art installation for the Art in Rural Storefronts project sponsored by The Arts Center of Corvallis. ARS serves regional audiences in Linn and Benton Counties by bringing innovative, thought- provoking art projects to rural communities that lack spaces dedicated to contemporary/non-commercial art. Three artists were chosen to participate. Continue reading “Ditch Fish Project: wire square work”

Ditch Fish project: Site visit
October 16: I jumped at the opportunity to head to Sweet Home for a site visit and meet building owner Sarah S. A big thanks to Sarah for connecting with me!! The drive was beautiful, sunny and feeling so much like fall! It took almost an hour to get there from home. Sarah showed meContinue reading “Ditch Fish project: Site visit”
Pulling out the charcoal
Start of a poppy drawing: stage 1 & 2. How do I procrastinate from tasks needing work? Typically I pull out a completely unrelated art form like knitting scarves, printmaking or something totally different. Yesterday it was drawing with charcoal. Maybe I can partly blame fellow blogger Rosie Scribblah in Wales. I adore herContinue reading “Pulling out the charcoal”
Start of the Ditch Fish Project
Today I had to secure my site for the Rural Storefront Art project. I admit, life has been super busy and I’ve not been able to run over to Sweet Home to check the sites, but I had two to choose from and hopefully I chose wisely. Google street views helped a bunch. I won’tContinue reading “Start of the Ditch Fish Project”
Project #201
It’s actual name is the Brain Conversation #201. I find myself having lots of inner dialogs as I flesh out new concepts or work thru challenging projects. This particular piece has been in the works for several years. The invitation to participate in Corvallis Fall Festival’s Fine Arts Showcase during the month of September finallyContinue reading “Project #201”
Triangle Accordion Book Tutorial
I’m not a real book artist but have fun creating them from time to time. I also don’t use the proper terminology in explanations. LT in the UK inquired about some of the accordion book processes and I thought it was a great time to re-explore a past book design. Not every step is fullyContinue reading “Triangle Accordion Book Tutorial”
Plankton Project: day 1
Saturday I sat down and went through photos online to start figuring out my approach to the sculpture. Today, Monday, I’m starting work on a form. The first focus is on zooplankton, mainly copepods. These little guys & gals scurry about through the water column consuming other critters and plants. Their body form looks likeContinue reading “Plankton Project: day 1”
Crumpled Paper
This is my first attempt with manipulating a single sheet of tracing paper into a sculptural form. I kind of remember doing this sort thing as a child but never more than a wadding and twisting forms to look like horses (I had a horse hang up as a young girl). Two years ago IContinue reading “Crumpled Paper”
Finished Project
Whew! The end of the month and many projects accomplished! The biggest thing off my plate happens to be the donation for The Arts Center… Stroll in the Woods will be up for sale during Chocolate Fantasy. All proceeds from the sale will benefit the AC. Now I can get back into the swing ofContinue reading “Finished Project”
