Extraordinary Ordinary Falcon
Happy New Year All!
Julie and I have finally gotten a handle on our exquisite corpse collaborative project and here is a finished piece.
Even Falcons come home
Whether it will make it into the March 2010 Blackfish Gallery Backroom Show is still to be determined! What has been most interesting about this project are the itierations that the project itself has gone through. We started out with an excessively broad base and have winnowed it down to a few requirements. Which on hindsight seems backwards but it’s hard to tell where you’re going unless you Start. Enjoy!

Palmarin: Our show at Blackfish was so much fun and a great success! Thank you to all the folks at Blackfish Gallery. Our collaboration was an amazing process - let’s keep it going. Happy to hear some work sold, too. We’ll put it back into paper, paint, and manilla envelopes.
I have an idea:
I’ve a roll of heavy-duty rag printmaking paper, about 5 feet by 30 feet, sitting in my studio.
How about if I send you some, and I’ll keep a big piece too. (Or, next time I drive up to Portland, I’ll bring it.) We can still mail smaller works, various ephemera, etc… back and forth, but we could also each work on a BIG sheet (wall-sized, like a tapestry or quilt) and collage, print, embroider, cut, paint onto. So, if you send me cut-outs or smaller pieces (makes more sense for mail correspondence), then I’ll collage and integrate into the larger wall piece. (Large metaphorical map?) You could do the same… We should keep working in our smaller current dimensions too - it works.
Maybe in a year we’ll have another group of the smaller works, like those we exhibited this March at Blackfish, but we’ll have one or 2 larger pieces, in addition to that.
What do you think?
I’ll try to keep up with documenting stuff too, like you mentioned.
Cheers!
Julie
