The Past Week

I haven't done much posting lately as I have been distracted by my participation in the Weather Project with other artists who attempt to communicate emotion with pictures of the weather. Very challenging as I have no photographic skills.
I have also started making some works in oils again. It is a continuation of my ideas about stolen geometry but I have suddenly started to feel shy about showing developing work.
I have been spending time with a friend who has been badly injured after being hit by a car. So sad and I am having difficulties with the confrontation with mortality and old age which I know is selfish when she is suffering.

The Magic of Blogging

The wonders of living now. I am able to get feedback on work in progress from artists whose opinions I respect. Thank you for your feedback. Oh and it doesn't have to be positive. I am open to constructive criticism.

I am staring to feel better bout these.

This is not a life.

This image is from an exhibition at the New York Public Library. I don't know what else to say.

Prototype 2

I have been playing with the jigsaw. I'm making shapes which may have come from the floor plans of buildings.......mosques, romanesque churches etc and over laying them with stolen geometry from islamic patterns. I am interested in the period of cohabitation when Jews Christians and Muslims lived together in Spain and the overlaying of images and religions on specific sights like Hagia Sofia in Istanbul which was once a basilica.

Here it is the result of my first experiment with a saw. First work so don't be too judgemental! I also need to find my photoshop notes to work out how to crop the image.
