When I was walking around the Texas Renissance festival after rehersal so many diferrent colors, texture and shapes stood out at me. I was really into playing with the shadows there. It reminded me of the artist that lay in the rain and when he stood up where he lay was perfectly dry and crisp. The constrast of it gave me several ideas to play with in my sculptures. The shadow of the woman is myself and I wanted you to protray the beauty and pain in life. In my next shadow picture I was orginally drawn to the painted wood and the raw wood shown though the flaking paint. I love colors and textures.When I put my fan up, the contrast lines with the color and texture filled my attention. It shows the layers of beauty.
I have a beautiful hand crafted metal rose that I wanted to play with in nature settings. In both cases of my nature shots I wanted to bring in the texture, color and elements of real nature with crafted nature. These are the products of my trails.
I was looking through some beautiful stained glass windows that by themselves were beautiful pieces of art. I love stained glass the colors, swirls in the glass, the intricity of the designs always capture my attention. As I gazed at them I realized you can see the scene from below perfectly clear. Showing you a new perspective. To me, it was looking through a different color glass or looking through someone's glasses. A new sense to a world that I gaze upon every weekend but through the color gave me new emotions about the scene. Plus, it was also the texture drawing me in to look closer. Its like the old saying put yourself in someone's shoes. Look at life in a different light and you might find a whole new aspect.
