— Carl Jung
Anyone who thinks that everything about collage is known is probably stuck in a dull place. Continuous experimentation is vital, whether or not we divulge or share the products of our investigation, and constructive self-criticism is essential, if one is to avoid the pitfall of “artistic comfort.”

Sunday, October 20th, 2013“The true method of knowledge is experiment.”
— William Blake
Conducting intuitive experiments with eventual disclosure in mind may defeat their purpose at some level, but it can be beneficial at times to share the creative process that leads to new works. Nevertheless, the primary purpose of experimentation is to remove oneself from the context of producing something to be held up for evaluation by others. To investigate. To explore. To defy one’s own expectations.

My birthday greetings to Fred Free.
30-day countdown
Thursday, October 3rd, 2013The “headquarters” has been getting a facelift in preparation for the Annual Open Studios ARTTOUR. We worked out the color scheme on the Model T garage before shifting to the bungalow. With all the recent improvements on our downtown block, you might say that an exterior makeover was a bit overdue. If you happen to be in the area during the first weekend of November, please plan to stop by.
I am pleased the high-ladder work is now behind me.

Why is this man not inside making art?

Stucco needs to be patched and sealed before applying acrylic finish.
The rest of the wood gets oil-based paint.
Taking a break from restoration of box gutters. I had a good spot to watch the “Constitution 5K Run for the Arts” as competitors raced by.
