Page 23: Ephemeral Gecko makes his first appearance in the page a day book!
Nestled amongst the snippets of color….
winding his way through the stitches…
he is camoflaged in the scene.
But those papery toes are leading him onwards and upwards
to adventures yet to come.
I was away for a couple of days, but the page a day project ticks along!
Friday’s page is here….
Being fascinated by mechanics, numbers and time, clocks are a constant source of interest to me.
Over the years I’ve often incorporated clock faces in art, and I thought it was about time I had one in this series 😉
I like the regularly spaced hour long segments, contrasting the unequally balanced chunks of time into which we split our days
An hour spent waiting in traffic is so much longer than an hour spent in the company of ppl we love. An hour of sleep is not the same size of time as an hour at work…
……………I’ll catch you up with the others in a bit 🙂
Remember the dyed printer manual? With a little tearing, folding, stitching and gluing, here’s what’s become of 4 pages in Portuguese……
Sunday was a splattery day
As I paint and create I usually listen to the radio.
Sometimes a word or phrase leaks out of the radio through me onto the page.
This often gets covered up in layers of color and stuff
But the phrase ‘uncontaminated with thought’ struck me as poignant to this project
So each time it began to drown in ink and paper I kept it afloat above the layers
Another day, another doodle. Boiled down to its rawest essence, that is my life.
Paper shapes, lurid hues, tiny detail. Different mix of familiar ingredients.
The common threads tying together the rickety vessel in which I navigate my days.
The only certainty is uncertainty.
All things must change.
Post #100.
Biggest thanks to all who stop by, you’re gving me so much inspiration, Big love to you all! 🙂
More cut out shapes from dyed paper, glued, then re-cut with scalpel, then the re-cut out bits re-glued, and again…
The things with the dyed paper, the cut outs and torn edges, the outlining and the doodlings. The purple and orange thing that’s a little shiny in places. This thing here…
The page a day page/day parallel thing – they day resembles the page, the page resembles the day. Like the chicken and egg thing. Causality and whatnot.
The day was complex, dense and chunky too 😉
