Here are photos

of the remaining two drawings in the series of three that includes Spiral. I was focusing on simplifying the imagery and dealing only with the circles that have cropped up in earlier works like Heal/Hunger. I'm trying to convince myself that this is enough.

The other photos

I took this morning are horrific. So I'll leave you with only this one as a hint about what I'm working on in the studio. This is a mixed media piece, ink, graphite, white out, acrylic paint, and conte on cotton rag paper that I've stitched together. It is about 16 x 20". I'm focusing on these circles right now and letting the art be simply about arranging them in and moving them through space. It feels like there's a lot more meaning behind it when I'm engaged in the process of drawing, but I am limiting myself to issues of form and space so that I can better make decisions about what to draw and how.

The Brookline Art Center

workshop has been rescheduled. Classes will now begin on October 15th and run through November 5th. That's four weeks in total and I'm hoping we'll get to some good exercises on seeing and basic composition in that time. If you're free on Thursday nights and looking to learn, join us. Coming up next Friday is the evening dance performance and art exhibit, Circles, tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door, and the show begins at 8pm. If you're in Brighton that night and looking for great art and great dance, come on out.

I found

some very exciting work online today. Check out Marko Velk and Alex Kanevsky.

Grad School...

is beginning. There is a lot going on right now and most of it has to do with orientation and moving (again). The Newton Free Library show came down last Monday. I sold two pieces!!! And got some good positive feedback. Next Thursday I'm part of a group exhibition at UMass in New Bedford where one piece from all the new graduate students will be on display during their AHA! night artwalk. The following weekend it will be up to Boston where I will be showing with Jenna DeLuca and TS Hart at Circles a dance performance at the Boston University Theater. Come out and see the work or stay tuned. There are many more things in the works.
