I continued to stick with painting on the side, but also experimented with sculptural forms. This was the week when I embraced my deep connection with fibers. They were seen as ornamental and organic, just as my painting, but with a more lifelike attribute to them. The variation in texture was intentional. Knot making as a form of communication was something else that I found interesting, and decided to continue on the journey of abstract sculptural forms. I still prefer to stick to a muted color palette, and the greens that I used reflected that intent. The more I look at the paintings that I turned in this week, the more I begin to appreciate that color because of its ability to relax and rejuvenate the soul.
Past Work Current Work For this week, I decided to re-photograph all of my previous pieces in a normal setting. I used natural light on the patio but rigged a little "photo booth" area where I can get the most open space/light. I had to tweak the lighting a bit in order to ensure that I got the most vibrancy in the photos. Definitely liking the direction I've chosen to go. Of course, I do miss painting but these little pieces are so satisfying that they make up for it. I'll more than likely make some paintings on the side to boost my creative process.
