Yay! This is so exciting. Love to see Jessica Drenk there too-I'm so enamored of her PVC pieces that I overlooked the other work. Thanks!

Looks like you are making great process Catherine. Yes I think enjoying the process and getting to know artists is a definite bonus...Wish I used paper in my work so I could be a part of your terrific project. I am really looking forward to seeing the finished "book". It would be so great if you could present at the IEA EncaustiCon at some point.

Hi Rebeca, I am so psyched, I can't tell you...The 28 artists I want to go visit are showcased in a slide show on the USA site. (link above). The 90+ artists for the gallery section come from literally all over the United States and Canada, Denmark, India, Mexico, Scotland, Hungary, Holland, Sweden, Italy, Germany and Turkey~
Thanks for your note! C

sounds like an amazing project. can you reveal who the artists are? if not the names, how about where they are located?
good luck.

Brilliant, inspiring artwork!
I came to your blog through Nancy Natale's, and I'm glad to have found it.
Your blog also gives very interesting information about the vibrant art life in your part of the world (very different to where I live, although here are lots of artists, too!).

FANTASTIC!

2011-05-24T21:50:00.549-07:00

your work is amazing.
i have been in 'slump' for a couple of weeks, and i've even started wondering if i should even be doing this art thing.
well, today, after visiting your blog for the second time, i was so inspired by one of your pieces "The Circle Cannot Be Squared", and the idea of circles and squares was with me all day. and at about 4 pm in the studio i started working on a piece, and although not yet finished, i would like to send you a photo, so you can see it. i am thrilled.
let me know if you'd like to see it, if not no problem, i know you are busy. just thought i'd ask.

Thank you for a very insightful and informative post. I am particularly struck by your final paragraph and could not agree more.

2011-04-16T15:36:27.755-07:00

About beauty, I can think of some powerful art that I wouldn’t describe as "beautiful" in a conventional sense so I understand this if the concept of beauty is more expansive. I’ve long advocated the idea of co-creation between artist and viewer so I really agree with this, “making a piece that will lead the viewer to draw beauty out of it for himself...beauty that makes an artist of the viewer."
Finally << an artist should be seeking and excavating personal imagery……….Creating with an authentic voice>>
Yes! Yes!

Thank you Catherine. This was interesting and helpful.

Totally agree Kim. Thanks for your thoughts.

2011-04-16T10:45:40.814-07:00

I realize I'm profoundly biased towards craft, but it seems to me that art that shows little or no concern for technique is probably not going to be "deeply resonant." The technique may be dumping a box of macaroni on the gallery floor, but as long as the medium and the message work in concert, the technique is fine. Conversely, craft without content doesn't make for good art, either. Thanks for this post!

Dear Catherine, I wanted to write to you and tell you how much I enjoyed seeing your work at Illahee Gallery last weekend and that your work is very beautiful.
I also had some books in the show and wish I could have met you in person! Tomorrow I am putting a photo of one of your books on my blog with a link to your website, and wanted you to know that so you could check it out if you like.
I hope I can meet you one day!

Looks like a good crowd. Like Cari, I am honored to be part of this exhibition with you and the other artists whose work is there. A beautiful show. Many thanks to Miles, Elizabeth and the rest of the gallery crew who put on this show.
