Corners, edges, layers, time, an arrangement from The Book of Time, January 6, 2018
While working on my label copy for a show that I’m curating, I watched this video…I “discovered” Robert Natkin in 1991 and have been inspired by his work ever since.

I finished it yesterday…I’m tired. This is a portfolio of India ink wash paintings, handmade folio with archival boards and rag papers. Closed it measures: 30″ high x 20 1/2″ wide x 2″ deep; open 53″ high x 59″ wide x 2″ deep (that’s quite a wingspan!) It’s the biggest folio I’ve ever made and it’s likely I won’t make another one as big ever again…it’s a bit overwhelming. I’m going to need to set up a special photo stand to do future photography of the pages, the photos I took today are not so great. (I’m so happy that it’s done!)

Happy New Year!
Timeless Reality, The Book of Time, December 31, 2018
Another year gone by…this one was a busy one as far as my acre of the world goes, but beyond our acre ,the year had its share of things that cause a good share of bewilderment and fear…sometimes, I don’t recognize my country. Politically, we’re so divided over everything under the sun, I have trouble seeing anything good coming out of it. But in the smaller scale, I look around, and see people just going about their business of living their lives, being kind to one another…civility is still alive out there.
Personally, this year, I made all of this cool stuff… they are the things I’ve always wanted to do for as long as I remember…some things take time to simmer in the brain before they can be made, and I’m glad I waited, so when it all finally came into being, I had everything I needed to make them in hand…paper, ink, brushes, and knowledge…there’s more to come, much more, and I’m extremely happy.
Happy New Year!
