barking up the wrong tree

Perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree. This work is very new and very early into the process. I still haven't determined scale and printing method yet. The only thing I know is I want it to be about texture and I want it to be these long, eastern landscape type rectangles. Hopefully I can take a handful of these to Boston at the end of the month.

In time for your springtime sneezing and wheezing comes word from the O.C. that Forces of Nature is on display.

Here's a link to the press release from the Orange Coast College website. The exhibition runs concurrently with the showing of the platinum printing of Stan Klimek. The PR smacks of precious metal favoritism [insert winking emoticon here].

Closer to home, the link to the Christopher Yates review in the Columbus Dispatch of the Naturalists, curated by Bridgette Bogle, can be located here.

Write Up the Write Ups

To be blunt, this weblog is useful for me to keep track of exhibitions and, when they occur, reviews of the exhibitions in which I show work. This is one of those types of entries.

Melissa Starker reviewed "the Naturalists" at the Ohio Art League gallery in last Thursday's edition of the Columbus Alive.

Here's the link to the article on line: http://www.columbusalive.com/live/content/features/stories/2011/03/10/exhibit-the-naturalists-at-ohio-art-league.html?sid=108#

Look in tomorrow's edition of the Columbus Dispatch for Christopher Yates' review of the exhibition.

the price one pays...

Hind sight is twenty-twenty.

Lesson: Never leave an anthotype out if you are going to be 70 miles away unable to rescue it.

The large anthotype may have been a casualty of the the late evening rainstorm. I put it out this morning since we've been starved for direct sun for a week and finally it came out in the a.m. It was sunny when we drove out around 2 pm heading to Columbus to install "The Naturalists". We didn't get home until about an hour ago and by that time a couple of showers had moved through the area. It's back in the garage "drying out".

The price one pays for a little artistic multi tasking. Matting work for the O.C. Measuring and hanging work in Columbus. Trying to get the anthotype to fade.

Pics of the installed Naturalists exhhibition in a couple of days. I still have to pack work for Orange Coast College.
