folds and curves

Getting all excited about folded paper and lines going over them today. Printed of Flusser to read - so I can write some thoughts about. Feel good about getting into drawings relationship to photography - the real versus the representation - this works with my installations too so that is cool.  Some of today's explorations.



Will need to do some more homework/research on getting my white balance right. Still dealing with some dust on my image sensor - frustrating.

thinking about Richard tuttle too - the wire shadow work - will have to explore this too at somepoint - also want to get a film camera and do some more drawing on the film - it is cheap to do this stuff over here in China :-)

Painting



I regularly see these large plastic containers alongside the road when they are doing road works. I see abstract painting and traditional Chinese ink painting when I see these. they are fab.

yesterday investigations

Still trying to work stuff out. Some images look great as are what they are. Others are about geometric abstraction with or without depth showing plains of surface. IInterested in line. Still need to be much more less than more.

abstraction in 3 dimensions

Had a good making day today. Went to art shop and bought some more different kinds of paper so more exploration tomorrow. Really happy about the unresolved problem between the photograph and the object, the drawing, feels great that I have this 'thing' or problem.

I got into cutting holes in paper. I love where I make my art / take photos (same thing) the light is awesome.

 
this is one of todays photos.

I was thinking about the shcontemporary art fair today. I like anthony gormleys drawing things, though I get a bit hmm about famous artists who do public art sculptures but i liked his paper stuff. Also another Chinese artist who had done some wonderful pencil diagonal grid lines. I liked them a lot too.
