I wanted this blog posting to feature some of the new art that I have been working on for the upcoming October exhibit (which will feature Rick’s writing and my drawings), but I have misplaced my camera, so I will need to scan in the art later this week and post it all sometime during the weekend. Though I have not posted a blog entry in some time, I have been busy creating and also out adventuring on vacation. I had a marvelous, inspiring holiday down south visiting family and friends, playing in the outdoors, sunning myself, working on art, and visiting new art galleries and museums.
Artistically speaking, the highlight of my trip south on holiday was my visit to the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, BC. I saw my first Picasso and Matisse art pieces up close and in person (among many other famous artists and ancient relics), a myriad of exquisite native masks, and even a re-created late 19th century town. When I arrived back in Bellingham WA, I found out I had about 50 lbs. of plaster cast I had ordered eons ago ready for me to take back to Juneau, so I mailed it up to myself and have intentions of working on some sculpture projects after the October exhibit is hung.
But perhaps before the plaster projects, I ought to give some thought to the Juneau Public Market at Centennial Hall! Olga, Josh, Rick and I are applying for a booth in November to sell our creative goods (books, soaps, cards, knitted things, etc etc). Rick and I will be creating books from the art and writings generated for the October exhibit, which I know will launch me into a book making frenzy around the end of September. v. exciting. More to come soon!
