The Love of Process

Week One

The act of doing helps me organize my thinking and planing when working on a large project. The process of sanding plates is a wonderful thinking time for design ideas. Letting your mind drift and open to other possibilities while creating is the exciting part of working on a show idea. In the process the end my not be the end and the beginning idea may not be the end idea. That is how it is for me.

I took 49 pictures of different arrangements with the six plates that I have sanded. This is my favourite "One With Copper" image for this week. Photo images of the process working with the copper is most likely to be incorporated into the show with the prints and sculptures. Then also maybe a separate show of just the photos. Planning the show is like dreaming (dreaming up ideas). The reality is figuring out what you can physically and financially do. I am in love with the process.

Other happenings in the studio:
This plate is only 3 x 5 inches and I call it "Click". Everyone who loves to take pictures should be able to relate to this image. I take my camera out walking with me and I click on just about anything for color, for texture, for shapes, for shadows. for ideas that go on and on. I love to Click.






On my last walk on Monday (the only full sunny day we have had in weeks) this was one of my walking companions at Stanhope beach.















Just in case anyone is wondering "Love Thy Bum" is in state 3, and I have not printed anything upside down yet.







Thank you for stopping by and Happy Printing!
