sketching for public commissions

These are busy days, as always this time of the year. Right now I'm sketching for a double public commission - and preparing for two series of different workshops in the forrest. Both commissions and workshops are for preschools (my new focus group?)

My exhibition is still going on at Grafik i Väst Gallery, you have until the 1 of April to see it. 

sketches for testing

May 9, 2012

First step was to perform a test. So I made some simple drawings and cut them up. One of many questions to consider: should I just slice them and glue them (getting a broader image because of the distance in between the slices when mounted), or should I cut away a stripe in between?

hard working girl

I've been a bit quiet here lately, because I've been very busy. Today I've worked for 15 days in a row - and I have two more days to go before I take a little break ... So why so busy? Many reasons. I have this so very exciting "new experiments" going on plus a new toy for my art (I'll share soon), had a very important grant application to put together, a screen printing workshops to teach - and more. Today I'm meeting a gallerist to show my recent work - to keep her informed for my exhibition next year (spring) - so I've also put together some materials showing sketches, art works and my process. I'm still in a developing phase with my new work, but now I feel like I know where I'm heading ... so I think I'll be able to give her an idea. (It will be interesting to see what she thinks.)

interesting link for artists How's my dealing - artists on dealers, galleries, curators etc (mostly in the US) [hint: it's the comments you should read]

still laughing

I was granted some money for printing a book with photos of my art. Now I just have to make something great to fill it with!

sketches

I like how the shadow draws some extra lines. It's another drawing and I'm just partly responsible for it. I'm doing a lot of exploring this spring, but I must admit I sometimes feel confused by my lack of focus ... and a bit stressed.
