Showing at the High Risk Gallery, opening 09/06/05 from 7-9 pm. These two pieces are made from two of the colors in my condo: pink, and blue. The first piece I called Spring Fling, it's meant to capture the mood of dancing in the street or smelling all the flowers in the field, a playful, happy piece made with potato prints, broken colored glass, pointy dots, and paint spatters.



The second piece, Amore Perfect Union was a 4th of July piece. It's a taste of the broken edges we are currently living, a vision of a prettier future drawn from love, and a call to action all in one. Inspired by an article about the Iroquois confederation, a lyric from the Prince song Push, and the New Orleans fiasco.

Also showing will be In the Birchwoods.

That is the title of the current Art House show, which runs through Oct. 14th. I have 5 pieces in this show, which I think is a record for me. Three are pieces that fit in the show as far as I am concerned, because Randy and I were trying to figure out what the heck that technique was of an artist named Wanda Buta who we met in Arizona at an art fair. I came up with a pretty plausible technique which we have since been using here and there, of applying paint with string (thread, etc) and in some cases applying the string itself to the piece. In these pieces there are stings attached on two of the pieces, and just used to apply paint in the third.

Also showing are Coastal Spring and Rising Sun.
