For the second year, because of covid caution I did not host the usual all-day gathering in my studio. Instead, a group of us gathered on zoom to share our collage or other art work. Many lovely and fruitful reflections on art, life, and spirit. I’m grateful to have such family and friends.
If you’ve been following Ayespider for a while, you know that sometime in February I make collages. Well, that time has arrived, even though once again this year (covid caution!) I’m not able to have my in-studio all day collage-making gathering with friends. Here’s the first one, make of it what you will.
Below, my worktable, during the evening. Probably a preview of the next two collage posts.
Some of my Inner Critics are right over there, where I can ignore their commentary.
My cat Wrack caught a mouse and released it in my studio. I haven’t seen it since, but if I leave any of my snacks lying around they disappear overnight…
I didn’t bother getting a good scan of this because I plan to keep working on it. It’s still taped to a board, so won’t fit on the scanner bed, hence blurry.
Got hung up working on the braids and ran out of time.
I think the relative isolation of the past two years has made me extra-aware of my social anxiety. Evening studio time spent decompressing after a gallery potluck.
