Beautiful colors.

Thanks Callie. I can be quite happy with the original colors in a photograph, but occasionally I’ll play with Photoshop’s hue and saturation sliders and discover a palette that’s completely foreign to my aesthetics and which I like a lot. That’s what happened in the second image; the first image was an inversion that I also preferred to the original.

Starting From Scratch is, well, you know I run out of superlatives. It has the feeling of graphics from 1930’s Germany, but more complex, or how about Kente cloth, or….something bold and striking and very present. :-)

Originally, they were a collage project planned for a workshop with dementia patients. Eventually, I decided to go with something simpler. Amazing what you can do with a few simple marks.

Are you still doing those workshops, or was that from before?

I’m so glad to hear that. I volunteered several times at a program in Seattle when I was walking there and it was a really good experience. If you’re ever up for talking about how making art with people with dementia inspires you here on the blog, I’d love to hear about it, and I think other people would too.

Good – I’m pretty sure the last time I visited the blog it was on hiatus, so I’m glad you mentioned it. :-)
