I'm Back!

HAPPY 2013!!!

I can't believe it has been over two years since I last updated this blog! I sure didn't plan for such a long hiatus, and didn't realize it has been so long... sometimes time seems to just fly by without us realizing it... I know I was busy, and searching, and not sure what is the next step, in terms of the direction my art will take. I've experimented, tried different things. I'm still exploring and experimenting - isn't life about discovery and exploration anyway? So I'll probably continue doing so. But at least now I feel that instead of jumping from one thing to the other, never making a commitment, I'm ready to be where I am, dig deeper, spend some time at this point before moving on to the next one. This is not just another New Year resolution, which have a tendency to be broken a few months or even weeks or days after. I cannot predict the future. All I can do is make my intention heard, and it's all I'm doing. I'll try to be more present. I'll make more, I'll post more. I'm going to post some of the work I've been making since the last time. Happy New Year!

To start, I'll post the mixed-media pieces which I showed in the art fair back in December 2010. They are three dimensional mixed-media pieces, a bit difficult to show well in photographs, because they are not sculptures, rather kind of relief pieces that hang on a wall. I made them using recycled plastic containers and fabric remnants, mounted with photographs of the city and painted/drew over them. Sizes are between about 9'-14' inches, and up to 2.5' inches deep. I called this series Citycycle:
