ten days
they are finished and all dressed
ready to set off on their journeys

for the eight days to come, i will introduce each of our “walk with me” #NBO12 sticks
i am excited for the start of their adventure
the concept has lived in me for some time now
the intention of the project is to allow the night to shape a collaborative inter-active piece in celebration of connectedness, both within ourselves and with those among us. inviting others to actively collaborate taps into the energy of what is most beautiful in life, self-love, connection, self-expression, fun, creation, community
join the flickr group to follow the action starting during Nuit Blanche Ottawa september 22
the group is the canvas for the project. as photos of the journeys are uploaded and shared, the snaps will start to paint a, some, picture
watch the collage take shape
(she hopes! fingers crossed!)
i wonder where we will go?

not so long ago, the postman delivered a package of scraps from australia
for my part in collage artist Joel Lambeth’s collaborative project “carry the one” i turn to my ladies
using only the bits of paper supplied (and a smidgen of paint) on the tiny canvas
my nudes have become a series (…with three more pieces on the way)
scraps of paper from around the world, this time it is Edgar for whom i bow deeply

la petite d’edgar – collage and acrylic 5″x 7″

after the bath – Edgar Degas
now off to the post office to mail the piece back to australia
travel well, doll
best of luck Joel!
thank you for the collaboration

eight walking sticks
eight stages of life

the “naked” final eight lined up in their life-cycle order

only twenty-two days to go before they are released out into the world
fun
exciting

while in montreal on saturday i stole this snap at the Tom Wesselmann retrospective at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
(i later learned that photos were allowed. ha!)
Tom Wesselmann Smoker No. 1, on show at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
the show is a good one
his early work spoke loudly to me
starting with collage then moving to the female nude
with nods to the greats
i feel a kindred spirit
his later steel-cut work is impressive, but i like the nudes
i found great, yet subtle, humour throughout
the documentation accompanying the art was also of great interest to me
i take to pop art one artist at a time
my gratitude to Mr. Wesselmann for his body of work and the inspiration it provided

it is day one of exploring, ” the emergence of the New York School and its links to a new global economy centered in New York City, Dada’s revival, Pop art’s flowering in mass consumer society, and Minimalism’s formal refinement and emphasis on spatial context.”
before i, ” then consider Conceptual art’s fundamental questioning of art, the development of multimedia artistic practices and performance art, and the influence of identity politics on art.”
