Dancing Germans dressed as cowgirls, chocolate chip pancakes for dinner, and drawings that are starting to get sexual on me- WOW what a week! Finished up my second mask for Alice Atelier's Agostino.... and started to explore simplifying my lids and lips. The simplification turned in a direction that was unforseen - made the most overt yet subtle sexual drawing.(Not posted) Started thinking about where my form could be found in everyday life and discovered it in the blessing gesture's main de Venus, as well as in the curve of white bread. Tried to make a connection with "delicate deli-cuts" (last week's blog title) and found a sort of bond to finger sandwiches which are dainty and experienced by the lips/mouth, the body part that inspired the forms to begin with. In looking for the forms in other artworks I found a link back to fairy tale illustrator Lisbeth Zwerger, as well as Andrew Wyeth... strange, huh. Also stumbled upon some ties to Renaissance works dealing with birds- their wings have that downward dip and upward curve.Now, I'm messing around with mixed media and making attempts at achieving simplicity that still has impact- not homely or washed out. Good stuff in store- all very sequential.
