<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>What's Old is New Again?</i></span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My previous post was titled </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"What Goes Around, Comes Around" and </i>offered a glimpse of my ventures to revisit jewelry design after spending many years in academia and the world of painting. I haven't abandoned either of those, just feeling a bit nostalgic for the hammers and tools of the </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">workbench.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As I have been pulling out packed jewelry supplies, I came across a carton of laminate chips better known as <i>Formica</i> samples. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Speaking of nostalgia, some of you know my father was a residential builder so we always had a plethora of paint chips, charts, sample books, catalogues, plan books, material specs, and fixture catalogues. I guess that had an impact on my never ending interest in materials !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Laminate samples are about 3 X 2" and held together by brass ball chains. Unable to throw out something this good, I kept them thinking there would be a time when I would need these.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Many are from the 1960's and some of you will be reminded of a former kitchen table or countertop while others will see connections to contemporary graphics and color palettes influenced by the retro effect. Reviewing the the design names reminds me of the time of George and Jane Jetson, with names like Envy Daisy, White Gold Satellite, Green Irish Linen, Neutra Fantasia Marble, Nougat Grey, Island Drift Wood, Tawny Walnut, Golden Buckskin, and Blonde Marble. Several of the brand names and manufacturers are included with the most recognized as <a href="https://www.formica.com/" target="_blank">Formica</a>, and also <a href="http://www.wilsonart.com/" target="_blank">Wilson Art</a> and <a href="http://www.norplex-micarta.com/" target="_blank">Micarta</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been using acrylic (known as Lucite or Plexiglas) in many of my new jewelry designs, so when I came upon this carton of laminate chips I realized it was finally time to use this bounty. Below I share with you examples of the vintage laminate material and then examples of how I am incorporating it into the jewelry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Enjoy !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"What Goes Around, Comes Around"</i></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some of my followers know that in a previous life I owned and operated a jewelry design and manufacturing business called <i>Jane Nodine HARDWEAR. </i>I've always loved bold, forward fashion, and since I minored in metalsmithing I was able to make my own art jewelry. It is always a pleasure to have strangers compliment something you're wearing and then ask if you made it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's funny how life takes you places you really didn't plan on visiting. The more I wore the jewelry, the more attention and requests I got to sell or consign pieces to individuals or boutiques. I had finished grad school in the late 70's during the first big recession and I wore out a car commuting to several institutions where I was teaching art and design. So one day I decided to stop commuting and dedicate the time I was traveling and teaching to designing and making jewelry. I had a studio in Spartanburg, South Carolina that was focused on my painting practice, so I reconfigured the space and set up for metalsmithing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Long story short, I sold one piece and bought materials to make two pieces. Made three that sold to make six and so on. Soon I had a small team of college students working as assistants duplicating the prototypes I designed and crafted by hand. There were sales reps, fashion and apparel markets 5 or 6 times a year, and even a retail shop at one point. It was fun, and an interesting ride being in the fashion industry. In coming blog posts I'll give more details on past and present as I introduce followers on my return to handcrafted art jewelry in 2016. with a new name and new designs with <i><b><a href="http://janenodinejewelry.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Jane Nodine Jewelry, Jewelry Inspired by Nature Crafted by Hand.</a></b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Follow along with me and see where the journey goes in this era of hi-tech 3D printers, marketing on social media, and selling electronically. Below are a few shots of past designs from the 1980's (<i>oh those big shoulder pads!!</i>) and a few new designs as I am getting back to the workbench.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been an artist most of my life and have had an active studio practice since the mid 1970's. During the 1980's my focus was on design and manufacturing of fashion and art jewelry in a business known as <i>Jane Nodine Hardwear. </i>The fashion business is exciting, exhilarating, and hi-energy, but it is also stressful, risky, and competitively exhausting. Trends change over night and as many of you may remember, that mood ring that was so much in demand last month is deader than a doornail the next month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the early 90's I began employing student interns in my business and it reminded me of how much I enjoyed my teaching in grad school. Little by little I began to gravitate toward education and in 1995 I accepted a full-time position at the <a href="http://www.uscupstate.edu/" target="_blank">University of South Carolina Upstate </a>as an assistant professor of art and gallery director. Since that time I have taken over as coordinator of the art program and Assistant Chair of Fine Arts and Communication Studies, all while still directing the gallery and exhibition programs.</span><br />

monumental sculpture. This effort supports not only our academic mission to
students, but has brought many visitors to campus. Being located at the
crossroads of I-85 and I-26 has allowed for travelers to stop by and see the
outdoor sculpture that decorates our campus and is accessible 365 days per

on Main</span></a></span><span style="color: #343434;">, located at 172 E. Main Street, downtown Spartanburg, is our
newest space. The gallery opened in January and is focused on contemporary
original works of art that may veer from the conventional, while also
supporting exhibits of our permanent collection that include work by Andy
Warhol, Jerry Uelsmann, Beatrice Riese, Jack Tworkov and Will Barnet. By making
our collection available for public viewing, students and scholars are free to
utilize the works for scholarly research and the community is free to visit.
Our focus on contemporary and non-conventional exhibits allows us to offer
opportunities that are typically not available in our area. The overall
response to the new location has provided several new opportunities to students
to include internships with the gallery operations, participation in the
monthly Spartanburg Art Walk and presenting the Annual Portfolio Review, where
design seniors can display their work for potential clients and employers.
Direct experiential learning is emphasized in the Upstate curriculum and we
engage our students in all aspects of the operations and management of our
gallery program. In addition to the displays and educational offerings, the
space is also available for rent for receptions and meetings.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Summer</span><span style="font-size: large;">.........<i>and this too shall pass</i>.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
As professor at a modest-sized university, I enjoy my job and gain knowledge and satisfaction from working with talented colleagues and eager young students. As much as I like my work and the position I have earned, it is always glorious when spring semester ends and the rains, flowers and temps of May flood the environment with delicious sounds and smells. The first week or so after school ends I tend to bask in this freedom and look forward to what seems to be a long stretch of summer before early August when the emails return with numerous duties and concerns.<br />
<br />
I am grateful for that summer break and I do not take those times lightly. In my past career life I worked at jobs year-round, so I know how precious a summer break can be to feed the soul and rejuvenate the mind. Once I get acclimated to the new schedule, I get started on my lengthy to-do lists that include miscellaneous appointments, repairs here and there, a bit of travel, reading, reading, farmers markets, boating/laking/fishing, yoga/workout, and mostly a schedule for concentrated time in the studio.<br />
<br />
This summer I have had a good and enthusiastic experience with the work I am developing. I started in May on a group of 24 X 24" panels with a collaging process using wax monotypes and encaustic medium. Those have been well received and several will be included in up-coming exhibitions this fall. While working on the panels I needed to develop more monotypes on papers so I switched from the panels to the hotplate. Working with this monotype process, I am highly attracted to the qualities of that bring drawing, painting and printing into one activity. Being able to move the heated liquid on a warm surface just like paint, then marking and incising into that pool of wax and pigment, and quickly placing fibrous papers over the wet surface to grab the liquid before it sets, is a good feeling. It often reminds me of when I was printing film photography and would watch the paper give rise to images in the liquid developer. It typically renders a thrill, sort of magical.<br />
<br />
Currently I am scheduling exhibitions of <i>The Savored Line, </i>and would love to hear from you if this work would enhance an upcoming project you are developing<i>.</i> I post dates of up-coming exhibits on my website <i><a href="http://www.janenodine.com/news.html" target="_blank">NEWS</a> </i>page, and I email <i><a href="http://janenodine.us5.list-manage1.com/subscribe?u=d2e03790c12d14d96f3e18a1e&id=9309b651a1" target="_blank">Jane Allen Nodine, Studio News</a>, </i>an-e newsletter 4-5 times per year.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 30.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4d4f51; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">It's a brave new world and Dorothy doesn't live in Kansas anymore.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4d4f51; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3c3e40; font-family: Helvetica;">Like most businesses and
organizations Art is seeing paradigm shifts that are leaving seasoned
professionals feeling like we've been banished to a deserted island or launched
to the planet Mars. Education is no longer tied to bricks and mortar classrooms and MOOC courses include participants from around the globe in such quantities that instructors filtered by layers of assistants never have contact
with their students. Art students rarely dirty their hands with such things as
charcoal or turpentine, and most arrive at their educational institutions with

<span style="color: #3c3e40; font-family: Helvetica;">You might say the world has gone
to pot! And though it appears I will see legalization of marijuana in the US in
my lifetime, I cannot say all is bad in the world of art and education.
Thinking historically, if we look at the Industrial Revolution, we see
definitions that include 'moving from hand production methods to machines'. This
was not necessarily bad since it allowed us to move forward and reach avenues that no one had previously accomplished or even considered. But in art and design, the 'IR' distanced and separated the artist, architect, and designer from the very thing he or she conceived. Eventually products in particular seemed sterile, obviously
manufactured and eventually influenced an Arts and Crafts style that
emphasized traditional craftsmanship described to</span><span style="color: #3c3e40; font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><span style="color: #3c3e40; font-family: Helvetica;">be 'essentially
anti-industrial'.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 30.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #3c3e40; font-family: Helvetica;">Even today we see DIY movements
popping up across the globe where artists seek a return to low-tech and
historical processes that include hands-on and the identifiable touch of the artist. As for myself, I am very interested in natural materials for
painting, dying, printing and drawing. Gathering walnuts in the fall is a great
way to bring a class to bonding camaraderie. Soaking and processing the nuts
and hulls, (while students snap selfies with their bounty), renders wonderful brown liquid that is used for dying, drawing and
printing. Suddenly those students see the tree, the nuts (fruit), the brown liquid,
their iPhone and computer in a different way. Starting small can lead to bigger things..........</span><span style="color: #3c3e40; font-family: Helvetica;">Making connections and making art from those connections may be just what we need to get us through this "Brave New World".</span></div>

I noted in the first post that it was dedicated to my students. I require a comprehensive approach to journaling and sketch booking in my courses, but I find most students resist the process and seem to view it as insignificant and unworthy of their time, a vantage not within my personal perspective. As I mentioned in Part I, journaling forms vary from artist to artist, but the collection, contemplation, research notes and visual thinking are consistent for us all. The act of recording the process is important to who we are as artists, and to the art we make. In many ways our journals and notes become our sounding board and assessment tool when we leave the cocoon of an educational system that students often take for granted with their daily access to peer comments and professor reviews. So, in Part II we will look at several artists across the country who are well established in their studio practice and who rely journaling.</span><br />

<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">David told me, "Ideas
are currency and when they get lost it's a terrible thing. I takes notes in
many ways, both notebook and not. However the notes are manifested, they are an
effort to catch thoughts and the golden nuggets before they drift back into the
river where they have to be panned for again or float downstream to someone
else. I keep notes in books, on cards (mostly to notate color) and I make
hundreds of notes on Post its which litter the walls of my studio. They are my
effort to capture the elusive bits of wonder that come drifting by and yet so
easily flutter away if they are not in some way caught and recorded. Some of
these written seeds lay dormant, germinating for many years before they have
their day in the sun." <a href="http://www.davidaclark.com/" target="_blank">David A. Clark</a></span></i></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are thousands of journals and sketchbooks in closets, attics, garages and studios. They hold insights to their makers and maintain secrets that will never be deciphered. I hope this post has given you fresh eyes toward the collection of material we use to create, and might just spur you to get out your books and look back at the journey traveled. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have sketchbooks, journals, notes, notations, diagrams and specs. I have kept them in one form or another since I was a child. The most comprehensive ones go back to my days in high school. I'm always on the lookout for new <i>blank books </i>that can be used at a moments notice to record ideas, jot down quotes, document technical info, add wisdom or a bit of humor. My journals serve as a record, a file, a documentary dictionary and encyclopedia. It is the way I collect my thoughts and try to make sense of experiences, ideas and life, things I want to know and try to understand. I take great pleasure in looking back at those tomes and revisiting my interests and notions over the years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Much of what I have collected makes sense only to me. That is because I jot, scribble, list, scratch diagrams, stick things in, tear things out, and assemble something that vaguely resembles qualities of hoarding. Literally, I am recording my cognitive thought process on those pages. Some artists are analytical, methodical, and highly meticulous with their journal notations, but more often I find most artists follow a similar process to mine that is along the lines of collecting for contemplation and reference.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />A look back in history at journals of iconic artists reveals all sorts of insights into masterpieces that we as viewers may only know as finished works installed in museums. Most are familiar with the highly detailed notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, who recorded more about science and engineering than art in his journals. Da Vinci was so meticulous and protective of his work that he wrote the text in reverse so it could not be read by outsiders. A more recent artist that comes to mind for copious notes and diagrams is Frida Kahlo whose journals have been published in one form or another and are very popular for studying her life and her art.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Found items from books and magazines, or a printout from the web, have caused many a sketchbook to split its spine. While my past sketchbooks include torn pages and slips of paper, today I see much of that same content material posted on my Facebook page. I tend to select and share items of interest and humor. Those posts have become a resource and a record for my ideas just like my bound journals have for so many years. An outsider looking at my journals or my Facebook posts would see threads that have followed my thoughts and ideas throughout my career. A musician friend that performs and writes about music mentioned that he now keeps everything electronically on his phone or iPad since he is currently living on a boat in southern California. The forms may be changing, but the inclination to collect, organize, order and revise stays the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />For this post, Part I & Part II, I invited several friends to share their journaling process and their forms of notation with statements and images. All of the individuals are creatives working in a variety of styles and media.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><b>Deborah Kapoor</b> lives and works in Seattle. Deborah has background in photography, painting and drawing, and is current working in sculpture and installation. Several ways she uses journaling is jotting ideas on Post-It notes, lined note paper, Moleskin journals and small travel journals. Relating to my earlier comment of how Facebook posts have become a journal for me, Deborah mentioned her smart phone has become a way to record notes electronically.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>"… to simply jot an idea down before I forget it when I¹m in a hurry. I have ideas at the oddest times and just worry that I will forget them (because I will), so am constantly writing things on post it notes. Another is on simple lined paper,.... I have always liked the ruled lines, even though I mostly ignore them. I will do little thumbnail sketches that are not detailed at all, but gives me a really rough and quick idea of the form I am thinking about, with lots of written verbal description. I do this A LOT. The words are a way of brainstorming as the ideas come, with no judgment at this time. I may or may not use any of them." <a href="http://www.deborahkapoor.com/" target="_blank">Deborah Kapoor</a></i></span></blockquote>

<br />
With several weeks of time away from my teaching and administrative duties at the university, I get a chance to spend full days in the studio. The first day or two is like warming up for a workout or sun salutations we do beginning yoga class. I have to get both mind and body into my place, that space where I work and explore ideas from the countless lists and notations I collect in books, bags and pockets. Once the salutations are completed, the work process flows like water in a stream.<br />
<br />
This last week has been productive and rather than dwell on more details, I share with you a series of new monotypes that will end 2013. The <i>Apparition</i> series of monotypes. Each print is unique, 24 X 18" on Japanese rice paper using wax, pigment and graphite. Details on sales or exhibition can be found on my website: <a href="http://www.janenodine.com/Nodine/contact_services.html" target="_blank">www.janenodine.com</a> .<br />
<br />
Enjoy and…<br />
<br />
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!<br />

Christmas will soon arrive and I feel like it was just days ago I was throwing out the tree from 2012. Speaking of a tree, I recently posted on FB that I need a hologram of a Christmas tree for my den. With all the "Likes" it received, it's clear there are many others who would be happy to have a projection of a decorated tree to satisfy their family and make for a quick and easy clean-up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, what's been keeping me from posting here? Life. Oh I've had plenty going on in the studio, but I also have family, work and professional commitments. It's just a bit startling when you realize how quickly 17 months can pass. So for 2014 I plan to look at my landscape of commitments and responsibilities, and see what I can reorganize, delegate, delete and streamline in order to be more productive and effective. In 2012 I began a commitment to yoga that has been a rewarding process. Keeping that factored into my life and schedule, I want to make more choices that are beneficial and rewarding.</span><br />

I've linked these with details since several of the exhibits are </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">traveling and available for future scheduling. Below I'm sharing a group of monotypes I exhibited as an installation in <i>The Calligraphic Gesture, </i>Tao Water Gallery, and this fall at the <a href="http://www.spartanburgartmuseum.org/" target="_blank">Spartanburg Art Museum</a> and Riverworks Gallery in Greenville, SC. I plan to spend some of my holiday time in the studio woking on new monotypes for an up-coming solo exhibition I have scheduled at <span style="color: #741b47;"><a href="http://www.columbiasc.edu/academics/arts-a-communication-studies/studio-art/goodall-gallery" target="_blank">Goodall Gallery in February 2014</a>.</span></span></div>

Due to the Governor's actions this week the Arts Commission web page states, " </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The governor has vetoed all funding for the South Carolina Arts Commission. Due to the unprecedented timing of these vetoes the Arts Commission office will be closed pending legislative action on the vetoes.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> "</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">For this post I find it is necessary, once again, to speak out in favor of public arts support. I am posting an open letter I wrote Governor Haley last year when she vetoed funding for the SC Arts Commission and support for SC ETV, our arm of Public Television. Whether she saw my letter or not, I do not not know, but I did receive a form letter from her office that I will look for and include at the end of this post in the next day or so.</span><br />

Leave bookshelves empty of scholarly literature that informs and entertains, it will close doors to museums, theatres and galleries where live performances of music, dance, drama and art move souls and inspire the next generation to use creative forms to interpret the human condition and make sense of our complexities, it will snuff-out creative after-school programs that offer young minds a chance to learn new skills for creative and critical thinking that can be used to move into higher education and toward productive careers and participants in community--(it will offer them a life and opportunity away from ignorance and poverty, prevalent in SC). </div>

What will it be like when the music is gone? The silence will spread like a deafening wave, a social tsunami that crosses the world through the instant access of social networking. The masses will gasp as they see South Carolina’s decision to disband and dissolve the arts and Educational Television that airs programs revered by viewers across the nation. </div>

In 1982 the National Endowment for the Arts established the NEA National Heritage Awards as a way of honoring American folk artists for their contributions to our national cultural mosaic and modeled after the Japanese "National Living Treasures" concept. In 2010 <a href="http://www.arts.gov/artworks/?tag=mary-jackson" target="_blank">Mary Jackson</a>, a native sweetgrass basket maker on John’s Island, South Carolina, received the award from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2008 Jackson received a United States Artists Fellowship, and that same year she was awarded the most coveted recognition in American Art, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation grant in the amount of $ 500,000.00. Mary Jackson’s work is included in collections worldwide including Empress Michiko of Japan, Prince Charles, Renwick Gallery, the American Craft Museum, White House Collection of Arts and Crafts, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Museum of African American History, Detroit. This single artist’s work is a jewel of grand PR in the coarse clay and gritty sand of the South Carolina terrain. Had she not received support from the South Carolina Arts Commission we could not celebrate this marvelous treasure.</div>

So in this post I'm sharing a few new pieces recently completed and slated for one or more of several exhibits I have scheduled for the fall and winter. I hope you're being productive, either gathering new ideas or applying them in your studio. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Venetian Lace, traces, </i>and<i> terra ignota, </i>are three series of work with </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">recent </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">examples shown below.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Venetian Lace</i> developed when I
began experimenting with various color combinations and tree resin. Early results
immediately reminded me of the beautifully textured and colorfully weathered
walls of Venice Italy. Further exploration of the process rendered rich
textures and patterns that were pleasantly reminiscent of my Italian travels
when I was teaching in the summers from 1999 to 2008. This technique reveals the
luminous layers and play of lacework in the series. </span></div>

Cornelius Völker at the Von der Heydt - Museum<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In March I had the opportunity to visit Wuppertal, Germany for the opening of my solo exhibition</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <a href="http://studio-rsvp.blogspot.com/2012/03/wachsspuren-opens-at-galerie.html" target="_blank">WACHSSPUREN<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span>at the Gallerie Kunstkomplex</a>. In earlier posts I gave details about my travels and the exhibition, but I have not had a chance to post about a worthy painting exhibition I saw at the <a href="http://vdh.netgate1.net/" target="_blank">Von der Heydt Museum</a> located in the city of Wuppertal. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started out one morning walking to the mid-town Museum location to meet my friend and artist <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodo_Berheide" target="_blank">Bodo Berheide</a>, where we planned to see a newly installed exhibition of German Expressionism. How appropriate to be in Germany to see this exhibit, and I was looking forward to works that might be more obscure in the big picture and may not have traveled as widely as many well know iconic works from the period. Big disappointment, when we arrived we found the installation "still in progress" and were informed the show would not officially open for several days. We had seen posters for another exhibition that was located at the Museum's crosstown facility so we so we caught the rail and walked across town. The ads and posters for the Cornelius Völker exhibit, gave a modest indication it was a figurative painting exhibition. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bodo and I were pleasantly surprised when we entered the museum to find a powerful exhibition of large-scale, lushly painted works that included subjects of the ordinary and mundane, that of insignificance, waste and detritus, and all charged with an energy beyond their material intent. The work of Cornelius Völker is compelling, not just for the scale and vantage of his subject matter, but also for the swift spontaneous strokes of rich thick paint lathered onto the surface with skillful mastery.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I love to hear Dionne Warwick sing the song from <i>Alfie, </i>the film about the quirky character played by Michael Caine who occasionally breaks from role to address to the screen audience. In this post I'm beginning my summer mini-exhibits, and I've selected three works I made in the late nineties that often draw the same question from the viewing audience; <i>What's it all about? </i></span></span><br />

Looks Like Light at the End of the Tunnel !!</span><br />
<br />
Graduation was over a week ago and I have most of the loose ends of the semester behind me. Our administrative assistant, or I should say our spectacular administrative assistant, has just touched down in Rome for two weeks, and my voice mail had a glorious message stating that "court for next week had been cancelled and you are NOT required to report for jury duty"!!!<br />
<br />
I'm thinking I better run get a lottery ticket before this buona fortuna washes away !!<br />
<br />
I always look forward to spring, ending the semester, starting my gardening, and getting time for myself in the studio. I began last week by unpacking about six cartons of work that had been patiently waiting for attention. Suddenly I feel like I can take a breath and focus on me and my work. I'm letting communication devices dictate less of my time, and I am scheduled to attend the Sixth International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown at the beginning of June. I look forward to seeing good friends there from across the country, networking and making new acquaintances, enjoying good food, and in general, soaking up the energy that will be flowing that week.<br />
<br />
I have several shows lined up for later this year, and fortunately most of the work is completed. So that means I can work on new projects and ideas I've been contemplating for a while. I have a bit more cleaning and arranging to do in the studio, but I plan to devote a good bit of time to developing those new ideas, and once resolved, I'll post some examples. In the mean time and for the next few months, I plan to post work that in some way or another has not had much exposure. With so many gallery closings, exhibition venues struggling with budget cuts and the variations that come with summer schedules, I'll be using Studio RSVP as a way to present mini-exhibitions. Some will be my work and some posts will include whatever I find that interests me in the process. I hope it will interest you too. Come visit occasionally and let's see what turns up over the summer !!<br />

With the atmosphere of a Hansel and Gretel forest, the heavily wooded trails and walking paths cover hills and valleys of an area that is <span class="Apple-style-span">twelve hectare or about thirty acres in size.</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> In </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;">2006 Cragg </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;">acquired </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;">the property that included the architecturally designed home of a former lacquer manufacturer associated with DuPont, an industry that continues to be successful in Wuppertal and specializing in aqua coatings for the automotive industry. Cragg </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;">renovated</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"> the house to use for events such as symposia, built an entrance office to the park, and constructed a cafe and restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Also in the park is a magnificent glass cube gallery that is heated and maintains numerous works for viewing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;">The afternoon of our visit, Bodo and I had the park mostly to ourselves. It was quite cold, but we had dressed for the weather so it was a pleasant experience. I can imagine a spring or summer visit that might include a stop at the cafe would be even more enjoyable. If you have plans to be near Dusseldorf, a side trip to Wuppertal and the Skulpturenpark Waldfrieden is worth your while.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One thing led to another, and soon after Bodo returned to Germany, I was contacted by Nicole Bardohl owner of Galerie Kunstkomplex in Wuppertal. Nicole had reviewed my work on the web at Bodo's suggestion and was very interested to bring an exhibit of my encaustic work to Wuppertal where it is a relatively unknown process. In the past I have shown in Switzerland and Italy but those were group exhibits, so an invitation for a solo show was most exciting, and to make it better we decided I would visit for a week so I could attend the vernissage and present a talk on the encaustic process.</span><br />

Bodo met me at the airport and we proceeded to Wuppertal getting a brief tour of the area before arriving at my hotel. The region reminded me of the Asheville, Hendersonville area of North Carolina that is near to where I live and is filled with lush forests and rolling hills that allow for beautiful vistas of the landscape. I was pleased to have a chance to visit Bodo's studio, located on the top floor of his flat and overlooking the city of Wuppertal.</span><br />

It sounds very cosmopolitan and exciting, except that the exhibits are back to back and hundreds of miles apart. I need to be in Sarasota one day, Tallahassee the next, and while it was easy to get flights to each from Charlotte, it was nearly impossible to get from one to the other. It all seemed so logical. Fly from Charlotte to Sarasota, then from Sarasota to Tallahassee and then back to Charlotte. But obviously no one mentioned this to the airlines. So I will leave Sarasota, fly to Atlanta, (almost home), and then back to Tallahassee. It looks like I will be in the air almost as much as I will be on the ground.</span><br />

Elena chose ten women artists from across the country who work with wax, and asked each to send slides from which she could make selections for the WOW exhibit. I like being included in small group shows where each artist can present a group of works rather than a single item. I will exhibit several recent works from my </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>traces</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> series and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Venetian Lace</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> series, including three that have not yet been shown outside of the studio.

I am also pleased to be exhibiting at the <a href="http://www.thebrogan.org/explore/exhibitions/coming-out.html">Brogan Museum</a> which is a community </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">resource for visual arts, science exploration, and humanities education, and serves a large population of visitors through a variety of educational activities. Oh yes and BTW, I just got notice they are using my vesture.0114 image on the exhibition catalogue. Always a nice added bonus!!</span></span><br />

The series originated from a body of drawings inspired by a collection of old photographs I purchased at a thrift store in the late 1980's. There were about thirty-five photographs of a family that appeared to span three generations, and whose relationship could be identified by strong resemblances to one another. There were a few first names and dates on several of the photos from the 50's and 60's, but nothing to clearly identify the people or their location except for one school picture with a man's name, the school, his grade and the year.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The photographs lay dormant for several years until the mid-1990's when I pulled the stack out of storage and began to consider using them in work. I had been scanning and manipulating photographs for a body of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>digital drawings</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I was developing</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>,</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and as I browsed through this collection of intimate and personal family snap-shots, the images seemed ripe for exploring and producing new work. A number of my </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>digital</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>drawings,</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> that included individuals and group scenes from the photographs, were exhibited across the US, and several were reproduced in publications including a <i>2001</i> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>South Carolina Triennial</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> exhibition catalogue, the cover of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Skirt</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> magazine, and the exhibition announcement for the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Rutger's National '96</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> drawing competition. My works with images of these individuals had begun to develop a life, or </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>virtual life,</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> of their own.</span><br />
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">For several years I worked using part and whole sections from the photographs, never knowing details or if the individuals were living or deceased. In actuality, I began to develop my own narrative that played out in my head and in the work. Curiously, I was toying with an aspect of power and control over the images in my </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><em style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">possession,</span></em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> and ultimately feeling a form of control over the individuals themselves. There was the aspect of including the figures in work and juxtaposing them in ways to my choosing, and there was the aspect of public exhibition and reproduction of the work in print and electronic media that fascinated and intrigued me with the idea of a <i>virtual life </i>that was developing for the images of these people, and evolving in a manner that was beyond my control. Irresponsible ?.....maybe. Selfish ?.... probably, but I continued.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">In March of this year I was reading a local newspaper when I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">noticed a photograph in the obituary section that caught my eye, an </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">almost exact reproduction of one of the photos in my collection of originals. It was one of the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i>family </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">members. There in print, was a small column of information with names, addresses, dates and details, that gave identity to the figures I had manipulated in art-making for many years. Unexpected? Yes, very unexpected and quite a surprise. It was eerie and odd, somewhat like the feeling experienced as a child when you are caught at something you know is restricted.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I introduced <i>Studio RSVP</i> a few months ago, I said we would journey back and forth looking at past and present to see if the more things change, the more they stay the same. This post will fast forward to 2000 and show work I called '<i>digital drawings</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'. I had been using computer technology for experimenting with images in the early 1990's, and by '95 had developed a series of photo-based work I began exhibiting. I used found and original photos, and was scanning them into the computer where I could use raster programs to exaggerate pixels, grains, dust and extraneous marks along with an electronic marking pad that I used for additional strokes and manipulating the image.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By 2000 I had developed a reasonable body of the work that was output as print/drawings on rag paper up to 60" inches. Using a monochromatic palette in the digital manipulation stage supported my interpretations of the dated subjects that related to past experience or memory, and allowed me to go into the final printed image and work with graphite, charcoal, and toned pencils to continue mark-making and manipulation. The end result looked photographic at a distance, but faded into a haze of marks, pixels and grains as the viewer approached the surface. The images seemed to dissolve as the viewer drew closer. I was interested in the ever-growing world of images captured in photographic stills and motion that insinuated the possibility of holding on to some past thing, and in some absurd way placing it in the present. Photographic images tend to be promoted as a way of slowing time with an on-going effort to grasp at the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ephem</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">eral</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></div>

First was the NEA/Southeast Seven IV artist fellowship from SECCA, the Southeastern Center of Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, NC. Next was an individual artist fellowship from the South Carolina Arts Commission, an organization that has been highly supportive of artists living and working in SC. I'll post more about the fellowships in the future, but here I want to show a few examples of how my work gelled in graduate school into a minimalist style concerned with materiality and a heightened concern with surface, as I began to embark on my career-adventure as an artist. <i>Keep in mind the poor quality of images have come from scanned film slides over thirty years old.</i><br />

I also completed enough hours in jewelry-metals to hold a minor. I studied and was richly influenced by artists of the period such as Eva Hesse, Dorothea Rockburne, Jackie Winsor, Agnes Martin, Robert Ryman, Lee Bontecou, Robert Morris, Richard Diebenkorn, Sol LeWitt, Michelle Stuart and more. This post will give a sample of my experimentation with materials and concepts in painting and drawing. (<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Note the poor quality of these images that were originally shot to slide film in the 70's and recently scanned for this post. If I had all the money I spent on slide film and processing, I'd be rich today!)</span></i></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because of my devotion to teaching, I continue to enjoy my position as Professor of Art at the University of South Carolina Upstate, and as Director of the Curtis R. Harley Art Gallery. Both positions have contributed greatly to my journey and made available opportunities that would otherwise be unrealized. One of the great benefits of these positions has been the requirement, or rather the gift of travel.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I begin the blogging journey by posting recent works completed in 2011 from the Venetian Lace series that is created with encaustic wax, pigment, resin, graphite and oil on panel. Future posts will document works from the past and jump forward to current developments, weaving to and fro as I chronicle the evolution.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the blogging continues with more details of my past work, followers will see the Venetian Lace series is actually a stretch for me at this period in my career. For many years I have worked more monochromatically, and in many ways past work has been more focused on content. The statement about this series explains how I got to this point.</span></div>

Early results immediately reminded me of the beautifully textured and colorfully weathered walls of Venice Italy. Further exploration of the process rendered rich textures and patterns that were pleasantly reminiscent of my Italian travels when I was teaching there in the summers from 1999 to 2008. These are a few examples that reveal the luminous layers and play of lacework in the series. Currently I have works from the VL series that range in size from 10” to 36”. </span></span></i></span></div>
