BLACK AND WHITE

A stack of 25x25mm wood panels ready to be primed. 

 My new project is in preparation for a show in September with the theme of BLACK and WHITE and so my basement studio is working out fine. It hasn't any windows. A dark studio is not my first choice of spaces to work in because I love light, I NEED light.  But I don't have much choice until the heat dies down.

Starting to play with forms and textures on panels.

All the panels have been primed and are ready.

 As I play with  Black and/White, I'm using all kinds of materials, paints, Inks, charcol, chalk, and an idea is forming in my mind.  Since this show will be then used as a collective work for another art show in the Spring, "Il Libro d'Artista",  my panels are taking on the role of pages that present the characters in a story. I'm just toying with this idea now but  it will probably continue.....

Moving underground

I don't know where to begin . . . it's been  a while since my last post and a lot has happened. Let's start from NOW and see where things go.....

Here in Florence (Italy) the summer temps have been torrid to say the least. The weather forcasters have baptized the heat wave with the name "Lucifer"!  That should give you an idea of what we wake up to every morning. High 80's...90's and humid, very very humid.

So,  I've found it  hard to concentrate and to work.  

The other day, annoyed  with myself, I finally decided to pull out of this by moving underground.  That is, to the cool depths of our basement.
