Paper cut superstar and
internet friend
Jenny Lee Fowler and I have embarked on an exciting collaboration. I've sent her a small stack of drawings that she's turning into fantastic cut paper pieces.
I can't even begin to describe how excited I am about these. As a teacher, I spend a large part of my day discussing
figurative and
narrative work with my students, high school kids are really into that for all the right reasons. However, my work just doesn't go in that direction, my drawings are all about abstraction,
whimsy, and delight. I love what Jenny's done with them in the week since I sent her a package of thin papered highlights from my work in progress drawer.
How great are these? Big dressed ladies that remind me of some paintings I was making of cakes in grad school. And that top one? Holding a fluttering ribbon like a whip! YES.
She and I have some big plans. We'll keep you posted.
Stellar blogger and lady about town Ashley North just posted about the studio visit we did last weekend. I love the way she talks about my work- just read that title- all mylar-y +happy-making + what not(s). She found ways to condense our conversation into the real important stuff- high school gossip, Martha Stewart living, and badly formed high-fives.
