Working on some 12x12 collages for submission to a local exhibition. Here's the first (have a little angst with your late summer...) (yes, I use ellipses a lot, I'm old...) (bite me, younger generation...):
It's summer and you can tell covid is over because there are lots of exhibitions in lots of places. Here's where some of my pieces are spending the summer:
The University of South Dakota is exhibiting Bound and Unbound VII, an exhibition of altered books juried by that wonderful book artist, Brian Dettmer. It runs from August 21, 2023 through January 3, 2004, and I am proud to have two books in this always fantastic exhibition.
Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is opening its first-ever juried group exhibition -- BIMA Spotlight. This is a salon-style show with works from a variety of Pacific Northwest artists filling the museum's two gallery floors, including paintings, prints, photography, sculpture, ceramic, glass and mixed media. The exhibit runs June 30 - September 10, 2023, and I'm very happy to have my cyanotype fabric piece called honeysweetiebabygirl included in the show. Please visit!!
PSBA (Puget Sound Book Artists) has announced its call for an upcoming members exhibition with the theme "collaboration." Usually I don't create specifically for an exhibition, but some ideas about collaboration are percolating around in my head, so this week I began altering a vintage book to fit that theme. It will be about different ways of collaborating...between husband and wife, with co-workers, maybe between different species, maybe famous nefarious collaborators, we'll see.
Here's the first page spread:
