As I finally finished this painting that has been dogging me since mid-Spring, I can shut the studio down and prepare for a month in Italy--Florence mostly, but also Rome and Siena. It is such good timing, as I feel as though the work is need of new forms, new shapes, new configurations. So I will draw and draw and draw, and collage and collage and collage, and look and look and look--taking in the newness of a foreign place with much relish! </div>

This painting has become overly packed over the course of the week. I am waffling between keeping the painting intact and letting it be (and not looking at for awhile as I really feel like I cannot see this one), or cutting it into all its many shapes and using these cut-out-parts as the basis for a new painting....a bigger one where I can spread them apart, give them air, and better see what I have in front of me. I really like the idea of making a new painting with the remnants of this one.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a number of studio goals this summer--one being a re-opening of THIS space, which for a few years was a helpful record of painting ideas. And then I had a baby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But somehow that baby is nearly two, and I think I am finally regaining my equilibrium on a lot of levels. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So to re-begin, I'm posting some pictures of the studio today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of the things I am looking at include the Byzantine mosaics at <a href="http://www.sacred-destinations.com/italy/ravenna">Santa Prassede</a> in Rome--which I saw last summer--and the mosaics in <a href="http://www.sacred-destinations.com/italy/ravenna">Ravenna</a> (which I hope to visit next summer....). The notion of building an image piece by piece, shape by shape--one shape pushed up next to another--is a potent visual and conceptual idea for me. Underlying the idea is the possibility that such building relationships could, in theory, continue on forever...bit by bit, piece by piece, slowly, slowly. Simple relationships that become complex by virtue of infinite accumulation are the base off of which I jump these days.</div>

Working these days has been a flurry of collaging--whenever I can, whenever the baby is asleep, while students are working contentedly. I supplement the flurry with images that I love--and post them here so as to collect. <a href="http://hortongallery.com/artist/laurenluloff">Here</a> are some recent Lauren Luloff paintings that fuel the push for me. Love these--their informality, their delight in the specificity of fragments, their "world dipped in paint" quality. If the most important, most delightful moments of the world were dipped in paint and gathered together, this is what we would see. </div>Barbara Campbell Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00718532124070926246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817953143857116006.post-67982173385786334142012-02-07T14:20:00.001-05:002012-02-07T14:20:41.276-05:00Allison Miller<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

These days are tough ones for me in terms of studio work. I still have not figured how one nurtures an infant AND nurtures a studio. All in due time I tell myself, as the remnant of baby vomit on my shoulder wafts through my nostrils. I think this current reality makes finding new (to me that is..) painting so wonderful, so soul-feeding. <a href="http://www.3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2010/02/basil-beattie-paintings-from-the-janus-series-ii-2010-sue-hubbard.html">Basil Beattie</a> (top) and <a href="http://www.twocoatsofpaint.com/2011/12/claude-viallat-exploring-casualist.html">Claude Viallat</a> (bottom) came to my attention just today.</div>Barbara Campbell Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00718532124070926246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817953143857116006.post-32697835540511776292011-11-25T16:43:00.001-05:002011-11-25T16:44:43.307-05:00Jen Omaitz<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

My first grade son brought the-above sheet home from school last week containing lists of words. I love these lists! (And I can't help but think there is an equivalent studio exercise for me here.) He continues his immersion in the remarkable state of "learning to read and write." As I watch him gather more and more words EACH DAY, I try to recall my own state of in-between--the in-between of not-knowing and knowing what words mean. I do remember first grade some and I do remember feeling giddy about the elaborate, never ending gift of being able to read words, and then whole books!<br />
<br />
My second son is in his own place of discovery--no less wonderful to behold. I watch him as he stares at his own hand. He gets that this hand is his hand I think. But he is still trying to unlock the mystical connection between his hand and his hand moving where he wants it to move. Every day yields a little more progress on that front.<br />
<br />
Both remind me of the importance, and the poignance, and the hard work of existing IN the in-between of not-knowing and knowing <br />
