After the Dog Days of Summer, I always sense that it’s time to snuggle up and get back to whatever projects I’ve laid aside during the long, hot, hazy days.
I completed The Canopy Program- an art mentorship program that culminated in a show in NYC last June.
After every show, there is a period of disintegration and reintegration that an artist has to go through. - I took the summer to regroup and get back into the swing of making art again.
After goofing around with little, fun books, I’ve been circling back to my project Atlas, and I created a beautiful cover for the book.
This is the cover, laid flat. It measures 12x21, on dark teal cloth with acrylic paint and gel pen. It depicts four boats of the type I imagine the four lines of my family may have traveled on as they made their way to North America.
Here is a video of the book so far. Everything is temporary. The white strings you see are elastic bands holding the pages in. All the images are temporarily held in the book using tape.
I will continue to update my progress on this blog as I go.
