Reading this anthology of art criticism from 1964-1978 by the brilliant and iconoclastic Amy Goldin, I discover new ways of thinking about making art...

| 'Winter Moons'; 30"x22", acrylic collage on paper |
...and making this collage I discover some new ways of painting about the things I am thinking about.
Be an explorer - lots more discoveries by some fabulous artists in this week's drawing challenge linked over at Emily's beautiful blog.
eyes and magnifying glass and another world appears but at the end of the post i make a great discovery 'Wintermoon', this is a great work, i can keep looking at it and discover more and more beauty, i love the balance between light and dark, that tree in the right corner, a peeping star or sun,just love everything i see, xx
ReplyDeleteI will definitely need to check out this book you mentioned by Goldin. I found this link to an LA times article for others interested: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/oct/09/entertainment/la-et-cm-knight-book-goldin-20121010

ReplyDeleteDear Sus:
ReplyDeleteI like the surprises peaking from the letters in the first composition. My eye darted to and fro looking for a cross, or crosses, and so when I came upon the second painting, of course I thrilled to see them. This painting is so layered with symbolism it's rich. It reminds me of the guy who painted the goats and ladders in space. I think he was Russian. OH! And now that I go back to it, I do see ladders in space. Going to houses. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Now I have to go spend some time with it. Love this to bits. *smiles* Norma, x
these are wonderful

Cool collage! I liked your sentence "new ways of painting about the things I am thinking about." Ok, I would substitute "stitching" for painting, but it hit home. My brain has been totally taken over by a difficult subject and I'm trying to get it out of my head and onto a sketchbook page. Anyway, I especially loved your bead post. Beautiful.
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
