Time to start working on Vector II, a summer show at the St. John's gallery. By chance, found a book of Yoshiko Jinzenji's work. Oh, my. Had seen this book before at Norlin. Her work sent me back to layering silk organza – cut up a piece from earlier vector panel into 3" squares (roughly), layering some, not others, direct YJ influence, sewing squares together. Also trying tie-dyeing with sumi ink, might be a disaster. Time will tell. Absolutely love silk organza.
The summer painting workshop, COLOR!, is scheduled for July 8-10, here in Boulder. Description and registration form now posted on my website.
Thanks, Jenni, for the recommendation of Toulouse-Lautrec sketches gathered in The Circus, a Dover book of 39 drawings. Here are some copies of circus bits drawn in gouache. Saw "Water for Elephants" last week. You might say it's a theme, the circus.
Back from the Vector show; pieces ganged in a corner of the studio and looking toward the next incarnation at St. John's gallery here in Boulder, July-September. Still waiting on the Vector book proof, interested to see how well RGB translates to CMYK, or the colors of light on the computer screen to ink on the page.
Opening night, Naropa BFA Performance, The Conference of the Birds (based on the poem by Farid Ud-din Attar, 12th c Persian poet), moments before the play begins with the musicians opening chords… Robert Spellman designed the floor (24 x 16 ft.), we painted it in two days with help from friends and the performers and their maestro, Lorenzo Gonzalez.
The Vector book is off to the printers. Full cover art work opened out above. Front cover image (right) is detail of ink on silk by Beth Sautins, back cover image (left) is detail of white paint on black paper by Cathy Zimmerman Hubiak. Title page below. Image detail of another of Beth's ink on silk.
