Shattered Art

"Looking Glass View"

This week I worked out on the back porch trying to get lucky breaking more mirror. It is surprisingly hard to smash a mirror! I was trying to get larger broken pieces this time, but the mirror does as it wishes. I still have more mirror to smash and it is lots of fun working with whatever happens.

"Shattered Art"

This is how it usually goes when I work at home: I started working mid afternoon and had to leave to attend to family stuff, took more pictures, braked for supper, more photos, then went for a walk around the Marsh out back of where we are living right now, took more photos of the installation on the back porch, clean up was just before dark. How many of you have neighbors that vacuum there outdoor porches?

"Porch View"

All the shapes created naturally when I smash the mirror are saved for later Art Installation ideas. I chose 85 photos out of the batch of images I photographed this week. It was hard knocking them down for the blog. I also did some other experiments with the mirror that needs more perfecting before incorporating into an art installation. I love ideas that branch off into other ideas. That's when everything starts rolling! Lots and Lots of Fun!!!!

"Shattered Art Evening"

Behind the scene of my weekly blog I am working on ideas for etching the copper plates. I have an enormous amount of images to draw inspiration from. As I work on the ideas, I turn some into transparency's for working with ImagOn. I am so looking forward to setting up my studio again and working on paper and fabric. Till then, I am having a great time with my camera.
