Images from Patrick ASD

Here are some images that I really like from Patrick's Flikr set...The top one really works well with the trees outside which is especially nice because one of the things that I really liked about working on the windows was the collaboration with the building and with the elements of the neighborhood that are visible through the windows.

Afterthoughts

So I left the previous post as images because I felt there was a silence about them that I did not want to disturb with text.

Thoughts about the project? Definitely want to make more and explore surfaces. More mapping more thickless. Maybe some text too. People really liked the work. I was really happy making it because it sort of brought together painting, drawing, and woodcuts for me. Enjoy the collaboration with the architecture too...each location has its quirks and strengths and I like the process of negotiating that with a work. Someone asked me what stopped me from continuing to do all the windows in the room?! Time! It would have been really cool but would need several weeks just to install a work of that scale--though what a blast (a kind of headachy blast!) If anyone knows of a space...

Backtracking: thickless

The show was fantastic. It was fun to do a large-scale work and meet other Toronto artists. The installation took about 5 days from start to finish. I thought that it would go faster. I spent most of my days a top a 15 foot ladder-no small feat for someone with a fear of heights-the ipod helped. Don't look down!



Most of the drawings were cut in the studio but some were cut at 224 on the glass or on a mat. Cat O'Neil photographed the show and I asked her to do some close ups of flatless. So, here goes...images from the last day of cutting
