dreamcicle journeys pages home artist statement mixed media interests virtual studio tour travel journals monday january 14 2019 developing meaning book on immigration and the wall in september i took a two week workshop with brody neuenschwander and amity parks at la romita in umbria italy my previous post highlighted my travel journal from this experience this post shares the book that i created using brody s process called developing meaning we wrote three texts of 300 words each on an event that had personal meaning to us the first text was our personal memory the second the collective memory of family and friends and the third was a world view of the event i chose to write about the wall proposed between mexico and the us this idea upset me the event is not going away now our government is shutdown because of this idea the book documents my feelings and thoughts the three texts run through the book each in a different hand the cover is made of bister dyed strips of kozo rice paper the title page the wall the lettering a story inspired by a red piece of brocade word morphing separate to include asylum immigration free association word mapping related to texts an illuminated letter a dream for a kaleidoscope society nature knows no boundaries i plan to use this developing meaning process to explore my artwork to determine a focus and direction to take all wriiten in a similar book format stay tuned 0 comments posted by dreamcicle journeys at 11 14 am monday october 1 2018 italian adventure with amity and brody at la romita my travel journal in september i traveled to italy for a workshop with amity parks and brody neuenschwander at la romita in umbria on a hilltop above the city of terni i want to share my travel journal with you i love this file folder book structure we stayed in one place and took day trips to several umbrian hilltop towns each day offered new experiences in the studio along with the day trips la romita school of art provided a wonderful place to stay loved the staff accommodations food and studio our wonderful group of artists inspired one another and made the whole workshop fabulous we visited san gemini a hilltop town close by amity shared her use of bister powders to make ink for lettering and dye for papers brody cut us each a quill which i really enjoyed using as seen in my lettering on the left love the spatters one feature of this journal that i like is the pockets to keep postcards and other ephemera this trip ranks high on my list of favorites i see another european adventure in the future 2 comments posted by dreamcicle journeys at 10 40 am sunday july 29 2018 book created in suzanne moore class at seattletters last week i attended the seattletters international calligraphy conference in bellingham wa i was very fortunate to take a class with painter print maker book and lettering artist suzanne moore we learned her studio practices and techniques for painting lettering and book binding with an eye to juxtapose image with text highlight contrasts in creating our books it took me a week to select a quote that held lots of contrast and meaning for me i chose a portion of martin luther king jr s 1964 nobel laureate lecture cover title page title page close up page center page injustice transformed center page opened taking one or two words we created abstract lettering and later added color i love the feeling of this page how the lettering almost becomes an image it will be fun to explore this process of using contrasts to tell a story through a chosen text the text in my book is uncial which was often used to letter medieval bibles i wanted to highlight reverend king s religious faith and his belief in democracy 0 comments posted by dreamcicle journeys at 4 41 pm wednesday june 27 2018 mary oliver poem for final spring term project a couple of years ago i made a piece of eco nature printed paper one of my portland art collective friends at an october menucha retreat had us collect leaves place them on paper roll it onto a two inch piece of pvc tied tight with string and boil the roll for a couple hours the colors or dyes in the leaves transfer to the paper i love the subtle hues and ghost prints of the plants during carol dubosch s spring term calligraphy class i made a book for my final project with this paper and wrote in uncial mary oliver s poem today when i put the book together i had no idea where the dark leaf would show up to my surprise it graced the front cover no planning it just happened it s this serendipity in the creative process that excites me i plan to make more eco nature printed paper in august at the oregon college of art and craft called natural impressions 5 comments posted by dreamcicle journeys at 9

summer spirit happy summer solstice 2 comments posted by dreamcicle journeys at 11 40 am wednesday may 2 2018 spring fever 1 comments posted by dreamcicle journeys at 9 51 am wednesday april 18 2018
