Window instalation in the Calle Feria

Exposición diciembre 2011 / Show December 2011

Show..En Bolas.

Finally, I have finished the work for the "En Bolas" show.

En Bolas is a play on words meaning in Spanish.. naked or in balls. This work is all presented in glass balls.

Once the show has been opened on May 11th, I will publish all works in the blog.

The New Coat 2

When things arent glued down they are more apt to change. This is a second take on the same theme. I am still not sure where it will go.

I often find that we bloggers dont want to do a hard critique, afterall it is for the all to read and often in blogs of people we do not know face to face, but I open my door to any constructive criticism.

The New Coat

I have yet to paste this one down but more or less here is my next piece. I tried oxidizing the back drop metal but I guess it is stainless steel because after hours in a solution it didnt even get brown edges. I found this little girl in a box the other day in an antique store and she sang to me. She is a beautiful fall day bundled up in a wool coat.

Playing with transparencies

I have been trying to make transparencies work for some time and finally it came together. This one is quite easy to do with contact paper and I was happy with how it came out.

A good blog?

I have recently been thinking about what really makes a good blog. After several conversations with friends I truly believe a good blog is a free expresion of the soul that invites others to view it and react. Equally a good blogger reaches out to others to share viewpoints, common experiences, give kudos, etc. I view blogging ulimately as a way to search for the common thread of humanity between all of us and join us (between countries, cultures, social standings) in a way that delves deeper into our souls than any other encounter we may have in our everyday lives. The blogs I read do this for me. They sing to me and offer me this common thread that I reach for and find so beautiful. Thank you.

Imagenes del verano

All finds from the Paris market.

He vuelto

Llevo mucho tiempo sin pisar por mi blog, dejándolo por muerto. Creo que nos pasa a todos. Un amigo mio me expreso que quería que escribiera en español y por eso dedico este blog a Pedro.

?Donde he estado? Llevo unos meses aprendiendo como aceptarme por como soy, una sin vergüenza tumbada en la playa llena de arena, una cosechadora de cosillas de los mercados de París destinadas a collages que nunca hice.

Me acepto, tal y como soy. Pero también reconozco que con las brisas del otoño que aparecen a veces por las horas mas oscuras de las mañanas Sevillanas, me entra un gusanito de crear y juntar estas piezas extrañas encontradas entre las olas del calor y agua del verano.

Las estaciones dentro de mi también van cambiando.

En el próximo blog presento unas fotos de cosillas del verano.
