You’re invited! Birds,bikes and art people…

All month long, the Birds & Bikes exhibition will be up at Axis Gallery! It officially opens Saturday, October 10 from 5-8 pm so pop in during your Second Saturday adventures. It’ll be up through 11/1.

For this show, I got to collaborate with linda | artist + teacher to create Pathways, a 4’ x 6’ cyanotype and mixed media piece.

We had a blast making it, working together at each stage to bring it to life. From collecting elements like branches, plants, and even trash from North Natomas Regional Park, to exposing and developing the cyanotype, to deciding the design of the woven paper pathway that we included. - It was fun!

The overall theme for the show is a tie-in to the upcoming Birds and Benches project, which installs artist-designed public benches across the park.

And, all of the art in the show is the result of collaborations between artist duos whose aim was to explore the poetic intersections of avian flight and human motion.

Thank you to our curators, Heather Hogan and Cara Gregor, who organized this show and got us going months ago!

Participating artists include: Antonia Price, Sokthea Chan, Linda Clark Johnson, Nathan Coldwater, Kate Farrall, Sandy Fong Whetstone, Cara Gregor, Jordin Hinton, Heather Hogan, Maris Kaplan, Tanya Lieberman, Elise Mahan, Lo’Vonia Parks, Judy Coates Perez, Samuel Rose, Michelle Sharf, and Alex Williams.

Location: Axis Gallery, 625 S Street
When you purchase this piece, 10% will be donated to SABA, a great organization that supports getting people bicycling.

When you realize you match the art…
you take it home with you. 😆

Since it’s art made by my studio mate’s, I think that’s a really good sign that we get along. Even though it’s only been a few months of being in the same space.

The slow realization that we both were coordinating with the other’s art was a riot.
- Jill was drawn to a pair of painted paper earrings I made which happened to match her sweater.

I landed on a collage of Jill’s that I really liked, and then I realized, how much I was matching it that night!

Needless to say, we both went home with our new pieces.

Maybe this is a great filter for how all art should be purchased?😂

If you shop by color like me, pop into the studio to find a piece that matches you. I’ll be in the studio tomorrow, Saturday, February 14th from 5-8 pm.

- Jill’s small collages make a perfect gift. And, I’ve got a variety of light weight earrings available that are also a great idea for gift giving - like say Valentines day or a birthday, etc.

During the last open studio/Second Saturday, an astute artist who was visiting noticed the blue hue in the shadows of this piece. (It turns out the blue cast is from one of the lights.)

1. Overall image of sculpture
2. Video focused on the shadow details and shapes
3. Detail showing the blueish shadow cast

I’ve always loved looking at the way shadows are cast from sculptural objects. After recently seeing the Ruth Asawa show at SFMOMA, it’s made me think about this aspect even more.

It feels like the shadows can be their own pieces and stand on their own at times. Their shapes are so different from the shape that’s casting them. For me, I t’s fun to look at.

And, looking at shadows ties back to a lot of my previous photography work with making photograms and glow-o-grams. -Always looking for the shapes in the shadows.

Do you notice shadows in art pieces? If you saw the Ruth Asawa show, what did you think about it?

It’s so fun when a collective returns to do multiple studio visits and really get to know your work. I always appreciate that so much and it’s really fun when they take home another piece thank you to this collector and to all the collectors of original art out there!
