I've been getting my studio ready for Philadelphia Open Studio Tours. We have tracks for lighting in our hallways and I'm hanging work there. Got these puppies and they should cover the space I have picked out just right. Now to install them so I can select the work.

Everything about this one is stiff, spiky.

The color reflects that I had some serious energy when I drew it. The eliptical forms feel as though they are stuck together and I like that.

The layers have less depth than I had hoped for when I began the drawing.

Just got the new led glowies hung in the hallway that Marjorie and I share. Now if only we could get the photographers across the hall to be more selective. More is just more.

New tools.
Weaving.
Another nest or pillow.
I imagine these in my hands with sticks and string, maybe cheesecloth. I might have to build this.

New tools.
Glass onion.
New shape and inspiring results.

String comes into play. Enjoying the use of transparency. Controlled scribbling.
A nest of lines.

Pink has raised it’s head again.
This time it feels more approachable in this drawing.
Gentle with flowing motion. You could spend a long time looking at this one.

A grid of marks is comforting.
I wanted to experiment with a tool I created to react sorta like a Sharpie.
I like it.

Confusion. Experimentation.

How chaotic can a drawing be and still work?

Limited palette.

Can I make a drawing with pink?

I hate pink.

Wishy washy pink.

But the energy came from the spirals. All was well even in the work of pink.
