'Mount'

Tracing a mountain - elements of work in progress

Cyanotyping

Testing various papers combined with all kind of negatives. To print 'cyano' these are exposed to various light sources - thus juggling with umpteen parameters.

Impressive is the impact of January-February's afternoon sun. It is as powerful as the 125 Watt UV bulb I use ... and for free.

The negatives for these prints are taken from a series of photographs: Drawings in the sky

Grub

It's a relative of this puppet.

Working on curved models for three-d pieces. Looks like this one can almost 'stand' on its own.

The material are printouts of images that failed to be useful, they were way too dark. Now I'm glad I paid and took the pics along! The thick paper turns out to be just right for purpose.

Experimenting with oil pastel on treated tissue paper; contemplating shapes and forms seen in nature.

'Between the Years'

Leap
(Burned orange juice on paper)

A new beginning (it is a leap-year by the way - pun intended), the days becoming lighter. Time seems to fly, while standing still - life suspended in slow motion, yet flying by.

So am I. There are plans, not fixed. They linger in the atmosphere, like an energy waiting to reveal itself - or to dissolve.

It's these days 'Between the Years' - as one says in German - this time-gap between the lunar and the solar year, the twelve nights after 25 Dec.

Time ...

... to watch, listen, smell, read, think











'Silence is the soul's oxygen' CM

Once upon a time,

...in another life, I made this piece:


It is woven with hair-thin Nylon, cotton thread and tissue paper. I loved making it, that's maybe why I remember it now - and there's an affinity with the cloud images, see last posts. - By the way I remelted the images of the slide show in last week's post into a video.
