11/19/06 Collage on Canvas
Another recently completed grouping of work - handmade plant papers on canvas - is the 12" X 24" dyptic "Ancient Ferns."
This work pictured today is part of my new "Winter Air" series experimenting with white on white shades of handmade papers. This photo is definitely not of a professional quality but rather just a quickie digital shot in the studio under regular gallery lighting but it gives you an idea of my current style of artwork.
The dyptic, "Ancient Ferns" and is made with the Oregon, ocean sea weed and kelp paper with ferns collected from the "Tall Grass Marsh" near our rural Allegan County home. This pair is priced at $550.00 and currently hangs in the White Oak Gallery.
I found it funny that the art challenge for ISABA (altered book artists) this month was also the color white. It appears that white was on the minds of other artists as well as myself of late.
A peek at the newsletter can be seen at newsletter@alteredbookartists.com
The mission of this group is to;
a Forum for the exchange of skills, experiences, and ideas through education, exhibits, and events.
The entire electronic newsletter for December (published on the day of Michigan first snow storm no less) used the subject of white as a theme. White art, white materials, white art products, quotes and so on was the theme at hand.
