Busy day tomorrow:
First, I've got to support local artists and friends by attending these fabulous events-Fragmentation: Seed, Spore, and Polyp
William Rupnik Gallery
Jonah Jacobs produces works of art using unconventional materials in ways that challenge one’s perception of found objects. In altering ordinary consumables and using them to create semblances of organic formations, he seeks to not only introduce the public to a new aesthetic possibility, but also to highlight the intrinsic processes incorporated in nature. Cardboard remains, frayed shoelaces, and bits of string are combined and assembled to create sculptured collages which emphasize texture and the inherent nature of art. While not his intent to create pieces that are exact representations of biological structures, Jonah's artwork is a paradigm of an advancing species, with each new piece cultivating a new habitation.
Wall Eye Gallery On Friday January 22nd , 2010, Wall Eye Gallery will present Boldfigures, featuring works by Hannah Verbeuren, Ken Nevadomi, Dante Rodriguez, Barbara Konrad, and Claudio Orso-Giacone as part of Wall Eye’s latest exhibition. Boldfigures is a group show of artists from the northeast Ohio region working in photography, painting, drawing, and printmaking who use the human figure as their main subject or inspirationfor their work. This collection of paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs display a strong emphasis on the human form or animal figure through exaggerated forms, bodily actions, or boldly delineated lines by the whim of the artist’s brushstrokes. Whether searching for personal meaning, documenting current state of affairs, or expressing everyday life, these artists share the recognition of the endless possibilities and potential of the human figure. |
And I also am in the midst of a major cleaning of the sewing room. Imagine a room where you can only take two steps in before encountering stacks of art supplies as tall as yourself and then you step on a bead, ouch! only to fall backward into precariously leaned bolts of fabric which then tumble down knocking over bowls of beads and my box of glues. Spent a few hours in there today and I can actually stand in the middle!
So now it's time to lay in bed and watch movies til my cats and I are fast asleep. I'll be dreaming of new tattoo ideas. How sweet would this be?
All of my tattoos are either religious or Mexican.
