Summer Once Again

Mary Kathryn — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:29:46 +0000

As an educator, it is difficult to keep up with my own work during the school semester. Summer is a wonderful time for catching up on making art, and also updating a website! Don't let the lack of updates fool you, I have been making work through out 2010, but I surely haven't been posting my progress. For a taste of what is ahead, take a look at the photograph I am working on for my next transfer. I will keep a journal entry throughout the process from the initial photograph to the final transfer print.

I'm not always excited to be living in Texas in the summer, but I am thankful for my back porch when it comes time to make transfers. Early morning is the only reasonable time to be out there and I do enjoy the process.

When is it finished?

One of my professors, I can't remember which one, told our class, "The difficulty with digital photography is knowing when to stop". This transfer project is bringing up a similar problem. I am excited with the new work, but can't quite figure out the next step. More layers of paper, more colored pencil, or more glue? Still working...

Summer Work in Progress

The summer is a great time to work on the art work projects that don't seem to make much progress during the school year. It is already July and I have 1 new piece almost finished! Hopefully the next few weeks will feel more productive. This new work is about perception, memory, and fragmentation.

Though the last series "Effects" was a nice study in more straight photographic work, I am excited to be working with photographic transfers once again. Below is the first transfer work in progress.
