Another Group of Work
I am really drawn to work that is more spare than I can seem to manage. In several of my workshops this year I have had students working in this way. Maybe spare is not quite the right word. Central cluster, breathing space around all four sides. Here are just a few images of student work (student isnt quite the right word either, as these are all experienced artists)
 |
| These are gel prints by Leslie Fry, who is a sculptor. |
 |
| One of many "studies" or "starts" by Sarah Bunker. |
 |
| Ann Crain worked so fast and furiously in my workshop, I could not keep up with her! Fascinating to see her process, and the pieces definitely capture her loose, free, expressive style. |
 |
| These are studies done by Kate Webster, who kindly assisted me in Gloucester and at Omega. I just loved these bold and confident collages. She doesnt have a web site. |
 |
| The above two images show the work of Linda Hazell, who was at the Omega workshop. She doesnt have a web site either; I hope she makes one soon, as I would love to see more of her work! |
I am actually TAKING one of my own online workshops - 100 Drawings on Cheap Paper. It is actually a continuation of the one that began last August, for a small group of students who wanted to continue in a self-directed way. We have two-week blocks in which to make our own lesson, and then make ten pieces that address the parameters of that lesson. I am thinking of exploring this central cluster + breathing room for my next "lesson", but I have to define it a little more clearly. Im taking some time to play with the idea freely.

| Sixteen starts. This is the easy part. |
 |
| One of the starts, unadulterated |
 |
| The piece above with a bit of collage and spattering |
 |
| This one might be even finished! Beginners luck. |
All of the above are 30cm x 30cm (10"x10").
