This is an image that is returning from a group exhibit at the Peninsula Art Museum in Belmont California. Last fall I began making images with natural light outside of the studio for the first time in many years. I realized how much I had missed it.
This is an image of an installation of a backlit transparency (44′ by 65″) which I exhibited in my studio during the May Art Loop. It was the only light in the studio so it was dramatic. Many people unfamiliar with my work were afraid to enter the studio. Finally a good friend of mine went into the hall to cajole people to enter. ” Don’t worry” he said, ” it won’t bite you”. Fortunately, many overcame their fear of the big nude.
Something old..something new
I had an opening on June 5th at my new studio which is located at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts. I’ve been involved with the DCCA since 1979 including 2 stints on the board, but recently moved into one of 26 artist studios available for rent. The 2 images are of a light box I first exhibited in 1978, and the other just finished last week. I have been thinking about revisiting this process for awhile. I realize that I have had an interest in multiple, layered imagery which pre-dates photoshop by a couple of decades. It was interesting to get feedback from the large number of people who came through for the First Friday Art Loop. My favorite comment was from a 4 year old, while looking at the image of the two women under water said “They are best friends forever”
