I'm hoping to primarily use this as a resource for my art making, where I can store ideas and have works up for review by friends and colleagues who may find this easier to work with.
That being said, let's begin!!!
So, here's the final focus for my work this year (imagine an audio of a drum roll here)...
Bookmaking!!!!!
Last summer, upon my return from the AT, I spent many days in the library sifting through books about bookmaking and binding. Fortunately for me, my fiancé, Sarah-Jane, saw to it that I received a couple of those books for the holiday season. On top of that, my great friend Christine supplied me with a few more this past week as well. This tipped the scales for my indecision on which medium to focus on. I love books, so books it is!
Now my next step is too decide on content, which directly relates to the format of the bookmaking process. For starters, I may make a few with the process reversed (i.e. make the book structure and then figure out its contents), just to get my synapses firing.
Art Note: This morning, I started thinking about common iconography that stemmed from comic illustration and have spent the rest of the day starting sketches of light bulbs. the light bulb form, in general, is very slick. When placed above someone's head it expresses the concept of thought. What does it mean if it was a different style of bulb, like a halogen, or compact fluorescent? Do inanimate objects also acquire the ability to reason once a 40 watt GE is seen floating above them?
