Progressive Bas Relief



Lady at Rest
 April 25, 2012
Finally beginning to make entries...as I learn this system.   I am a ceramic artist, primarily, although I have worked in mixed media.  The piece at the left was made @2008 .. with a series of trial and error glazes.  The first try just too yellow so we redipped in an iron rust and came out with this amazing view.  For some time I've been working with the female nude figure as inspired by photographs, paintings, sculptures...even catalog clippings.

Yet I am now moving into a new series of nudes -- to be entitled "Artist as Muse."  In this group of pieces, I wil be working from nude photographs designed by me...and actually, of me.  These will be accompanied by soft black and white photographs of the same pose ... neither format will have face, in order to focus on line, shape, form.  I anticipate at least of work on these.  At 65, I will be concerned certainly with not editing out the "imperfections" of aging:  cellulite, sagging parts, a bit more poundage etc.

As I do my posts, I will when possible, include photographs of my work, and talk about them, both personally and professionally.
