It turns out, my big plan to get work done hinges on some very simple, critical steps — like titles. See, I can’t save out a file or make a web post unless I know what the title is. So, despite being so close to having new work to show you, I have just a few more details to take care of. Here are all the creative tasks I work on each year, to unfold a new body of work:
- Take new photos, then process and sort them. I’m already started on this for next year!
- Create new colors, from the photos and other digital sources.
- Compose new texturized detail images, by combining the photos and colors.
- Hand-build new collages, this time intended as collagraph plates
- Ink the collages and print them, then scan the results to use as layers
- Build larger works from the new texturized images, colors, scanned prints, and whatever else I find
- Think up titles!
- Release a set of large images, available as limited editions via custom orders.
Finally, I’m on the second-last step, just wondering what to call this new batch of compositions. As soon as I come up with a few handfuls of titles, watch this space for the new pieces.
