It turned out to be pure madness,
I’ve been playing with the idea of mounting these pages in glass sheets, almost like large microscope slides. Because,
I was disappointed by the results the first time I did this blue series. Now I’m doing it again. Madness?
Some people say the world has had enough of silly blue art. I look around me and see it isn’t so. Some people want to fill the world with silly blue art. What’s wrong with that?
I had high hopes for the results when I did the “blue” series last year.
TLDR: animated gif done. Next up: symbol dictionary entry
Someone said to me today (and I’m paraphrasing liberally here) to “Set the intention without an expectation. Results will emerge in their own time when you open that door.”
The irony of making an artwork featuring swallows when it is autumn and all the real swallows have gone home is not lost on me. Nonetheless, the goal for this week is to make a paper cut-out animation of swallows.
The swallows box is an object but maybe it will also be a animated gif.
The goal for this week is to work on it.
TLDR: I’m going to be setting weekly art-related goals here. And attaining them because they will be attainable goals.
The first goal: spend an hour this weekend sewing the paper stars coat.
July.
