New work.

In between a promotion at my job, cleaning out and packing in order to move, graduate school this-and-that, and an internship, I've managed to actually work on some new art. This piece, like its predecessors, is a product of a slow process. To me, cutting tiny pieces of paper with various colors and textures and composing them on a blank canvas is therapeutic. Seeing the work unfold over the last few weeks has been a tremendous joy to me.

This particular new piece is intended to be a representation of something jewel-like. In my frustration of not having the ability to fully work in metal, this piece is supposed to look like baubles arranged in a general space. The strips, hopefully, appear as facets or at least create the appearance of something three-dimensional.

For scale, the entire canvas is only 12 inches by 12 inches. So, while I'm not producing art like crazy, I will continue in this vein and maybe, just maybe, move the concept onto something more three-dimensional :)

To be continued.
