2:17 PM: my day began with 3 drawings of stacked cubes which mikela needed for one of our actionlab360 presentations.
2/7/20 collage, 20 1/2 x 8 1/2 “
i was about to clear my work table so i could stretch the canvas to bring to my mentee in carbondale for her hospital commission, when i glanced at all the collage materials on the table and decided to make a new one. when i looked at the others i have here in the studio, they all seemed somewhat congested, so i wanted to keep it simple. i think i was able to do that, but i need to bring it over to the house and live with it for a day or two to determine whether it’s resolved.
on our last trip to edwards we met with one of the women who proposed a theme for the social space at the next tedX VAIL. when there’s a break in the talks, she will have a booth, which the attendees can approach to learn what it is she’s offering, which will be an experience they can transmit to other attendees. i don’t want to spoil the experience, so i won’t say any more.
when she learned that i’m an artist, she enthusiastically told me that her 14 year oldson is an aspiring artist, and showed me some of his work on her phone. i offered to post it on my site. here are her comments, along with her son’s,comments on his painting:
What M said about this picture:"Things may seem one way and when you shine a different light on them they bloom differently."And he did this literally too, he used LED lights that change color and the picture looks different when he switches the colors.
“ Things may seem one way and when you shine a different light on them they bloom differently.”
