Spent saturday with my pal photographing a body of work that was too big to scan. It’s exciting to think about getting this work on the web. It’s also cool to think about the whole process of documenting.

The time moves quickly when you have a really good photographer and you are prepared. Yet, you have the time to consider each piece you shoot and become familiar with it again.

I realized that I probably should have changed the background on a whole series to show the white chalk marks… Silly me. Oh, well. The emphasis on the black marks works. I didn’t really think about this until I was more than halfway through the series. I’m not exactly sure what I would do to capture the white chalk. Hmm.

Another problem to solve.

I worked lots of hours yesterday on the new website. The work that is most difficult is the decisions I have to make as an artist about how I want my work seen — in what context. Do I want these images grouped together even though the chronology would place them near eachother? How many galleries of images do I want to show? Naming, oh my naming. Each series creates an onion skin layering of titles. How do I want that to work?

How many new photos do I need?
Am I putting a photo of me with the bio?

Geeze. Now I’m really glad we’re making heavybubble.com

Ok, lots is going on behind the scenes. I’m moving my art site into the heavybubble framework. I look forward to letting everybody take a look at my work in the new space.

Heavy bubble is a service that Stellarvisions has been working on for several months. Artists will be able to create and maintain their own websites. We will be building numerous designs that are perfect for the presentation of work in a professional setting.

The thing is I do need some work photographed.
Oh well, its always that way.

I finally have posted four pieces that were drawn during the summer. I was investigating making drawings with pencil and sitting down — a very different experience for me in the studio.

These are internal explorations. Deep memories. The marks are very exciting. Turning the paper allowed me to move the energy in new directions. The drawings have led to a new series of larger drawings, I have two complete. I have five new pieces on the wall and expect to start four new pieces based on these smaller works. I’m investigating the same kind of marks and long lines that do not blend. You can take a look at the full series of the small drawings at my portfolio site. Here are thumbnail images.
