18(2) Studio Notes/Working at 18th Street Arts Center

December 5, 2018 By Debra Disman

Studio at 18th Street Arts Center…in process.

Older work…still under scrutiny.

making of the walls leading to the closet a Gallery.

This makes it easy to continue to peruse this work.

Earlier work: handmade books, artists’ books, sculptures.

Supplies, materials, material, samples, readymades, and student clay works, next to, and below.

Air dry clay dries fast in the Studio.

Material world…

and worlds.

From whence we go, denim.

OnWards.

18(1): Working at 18th Street Arts Center

November 20, 2018 By Debra Disman

 

I became a local artist in residence at 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica the third week in September, 2018. My posts, while a chronicle of sorts of the experience, won’t necessarily , nor summarily, begin at the beginning.


Works in various states of completion.

Love lots of Light. Let There Be Light in the studio.


A work begun during my studio residency at the Art Lab at 1450 Ocean (in Santa Monica)

Like a book, or any work, this is a process.  The beginning, can be seen from many viewpoints.


Canvas, hemp cord, found cord, book board, watercolor paper.

Like life, work ifs filled with loose ends.


Spine

Sometimes these can be beautiful.


Page turner

We turn the page.


Moving through, loose ends, unraveling, stitching, keeping it together.

Something new emerges. just that slightly different then the before.

Moving on.
