A Day in the Life of Lisa

I think that Lisa's image is so interesting because it is so abstract.  Even though there are just a few lines you can still make out a face.  It adds something a little extra to the entire grouping of artworks.

A Day in the Life of Andra, Netherlands

I know, I know, why is this project taking forever?  I would apologize, but I have a wonderful excuse.  His name is Everett and he just about 3 months old.  Needless to say, I took a bit of an hiatus from this art project last year getting ready to have my first child.  But, now I'm back!  The project is just one artwork away from being complete and the final installation design has been decided on.  I'm about to submit proposals to some galleries in the area, so keep your fingers crossed.

In the meantime, here's Andra.  As you can see, her favorite color is green.  I am in love with her handwriting!

A Day in the Life of Kayla

Kayla was (and maybe still is) teaching English in South Korea when she participated in this project.  Here's a photo documentation of the steps I took to complete her piece.  I love the detail in the blanket Kayla was using when her portrait was taken.  It adds such substance to the composition.

A Day in the Life of Sue

My first piece for this project is complete! I am so excited. I can't wait until I can show this work in a gallery for others to see.

Tell me what you think!

Sue from Alaska: Part One

I had forgotten the smell of printmaking ink and the feeling of running ink up and down a linocut.  I am so happy to be printmaking again.  Words can't explain how annoying it has been being away from creating a series of work.  I wanted to share my first print for this project.  It comes from Sue who currently resides in Alaska.  I have only completed the first layer so you will have to stay tuned to see the completed work.

I have decided to use the pages of notes that each participant mailed to me as my paper. That adds a touch of uniqueness to each piece.

On to the documentation of the process.

First, I drew Sue's face onto a linoleum block.



Then I carved away the first layer and printed her face on to the pages she sent me of a day in her life. Her favorite color is blue. There will be 3 shades of blue when the artwork is complete. And, the final step will be to sew the pages together to create one piece of paper.



I can't wait to see the final results! I will be sure and share them with you.
