January 5, 2016 Chatham Library Show

January 5, 2016

Today I picked up the professional photos of the two mixed media pieces that will be published in Incite 4.  She only took two shots of the wall art (The Season of the Witch), but about 30 shots of the rusty hat (The State of the Union).  So I had to select 2 good shots to put on the disc to send to the publisher. 

This afternoon I met with Linda Borst at the Chatham Library and got some exciting news.  I will have a solo show for all of June and July this summer.  I will also conduct an art workshop for the library during this time.  I plan on creating a lot of pieces utilizing books.  Some will be collage in which books are used as collage materials and some will be pieces which are about a particular book.  I think that several of them will be 3 dimensional.  There is plenty of space for both wall art and 3D. 

I am so happy to have this show.  It gives me a goal--a reason to create.  I really do need a reason because, otherwise, I will just sit and read books.  I do love working on art, but I have to have a place for other people to see it.  Just creating work and letting it sit in the basement is not quite enough for me.  I already have a lot of art just sitting in the basement.
