Prompted by an encouraging inquiry from Pauline, here’s a peak into the current works in progress.
Hi Pauline!
SOEX Artist in Education. A couple months ago I began participating in Southern Exposure‘s Artists in Education youth Mentorship program. Having our face to face meetings with Mentees paused by the Covid-19 situation, we have been working together virtually to adapt and transform our efforts into something, (exactly what? We are still figuring it out) That we can share with the public in May. We are exploring the creative process and social justice in Art.
Collaborative Print Project at Sunset Paperworks. Continuing alone for now on the 5th collaborative woodcut reduction print with Miss Minor - The first color has been printed and I am carving for the second color. We are exploring the themes of duality and lunar time.
Growth Paintings. I have started these paintings very long ago, what is time anyway? I have been working on them lately. I am very eager to finish them, and at the same time, I find it daunting to continue. Maybe I can finish them this year? One is about growth potential set in the press room of the Arion Press where I used to work and the other is about cultivating the light within.
Backdrops - A while back, Myleen and I discussed making backdrops. I was really excited by the idea but I didn’t get started til recently, when I got a welcome motivation from a mentee in the AIE program. Im using a mountain lion and the San Francisco Flag as visual points of reference along with a quote by Herb Caen. And am currently exploring solutions which are mailable or easy to transport and set up…
Daily Drawing. I’ve been trying to draw every day. Below are some digital sketches on the iPad Paper App and regular paper drawings…
That’s all for now. Thanks for asking!
