I am in a comfortable place with my fusion of digital images and egg tempera. As I approach my first large fusion painting on canvas, 40" square, I am making sketches of some of it's elements. It's all play as the images reveal hidden treasures.
I love this from Edward Petherbridge:
"Descriptions of sketching throughout history have emphasized its spontaneous, exploratory, unfinished, indeterminate, contingent and/or disordered qualities; often characterized by loss of control or openness to the unexpected. Modern art also focused on aspects of the sketch to isolate, capture or value “the essential” as even more important than the finished work. In design disciplines, sketching is commonly seen as an interim activity; making images to assist in the creation of something more 'real'."
The lacy pink becomes enclosures for who knows what? And tendrils emerge and caress.
Stickiness and emergence yesterday, who can say where this is going? Open source!
