Postcards From The Path, San Francisco
I was inspired - Poetry Bombing at
The Beat Museum,
San Francisco, CA, USA
A nod to George Rodrigue with a little twist and glitter
Love the detail on this grate-ffiti. (you will have to zoom in)
Fun to have spied this style around the city.
(Same artist below)
The Bay - San Francisco's Symphony Hall's loading bay that is.
I currently have a cone fixation as I am currently working on a silly series with them.
I like how taking the vibrancy out of the color by going grey scale forces the viewer to see the familiar objects as part of a composition. The texture and pattern is yummy and I can hear the Sesame Street tune "one of these is not like the other..." playing in the back of my mind - even though all the objects are traffic related items.
I guess it would be nice of me to show the original photo, but I'm not going to. One's mind already has filled in the colors,
lighting a smile of recognition.

Perspective's play with fingers, pattern, sand, and coconuts... sun and shadow and wind were left to work the rest out on their own (per usual)
...the wind showed up to too, but aside from it's visual effects by affecting the placement of the coconuts, wind just doesn't seem to ever photograph well - thus, it didn't make it into the title
...could probably have edited these to kick them up a bit... but I don't feel like it.

Random Act of Ar~ting - Wood in Grass, Liberty Station, California, USA
The third sculpture from the pieces of wood that were used in Coronado and Pacific Beach...
I came across some scrap wood left over from a skate park ramp project at the YMCA Krause Family Bike and Skate Park in Claremont, and loved the shapes - I immediately envisioned them as a sculpture.
The pieces are cut from a mix of 1/2 and 2/3 inch plywood and I knew, together, they would make a great piece.
The previous two installations were in the sand, grass was a welcomed challenge today and the wind came out to play which plays really well with some new slender pieces that added an undulating movement to the piece.
Again no hardware or adhesives were used.
I love the opportunity to work with balancing the pieces - structurally as well as visually (yum!)
Working in the round, offering the viewer a multitude of perspectives as they walk around the piece, is really exciting too.

Abstract Wood in Sand - Pacific Beach Nature's Gallery
The second sculpture from the pieces of wood that were used in Coronado...
I came across some scrap wood left over from a skate park ramp project at the YMCA Krause Family Bike and Skate Park in Claremont, and loved the shapes - I immediately envisioned them as a sculpture.
The pieces are cut from a mix of 1/2 and 2/3 inch plywood and I knew, together, they would make a great piece.
Sand seemed obvious as I didn't want to use any hardware or adhesives because ultimately, I loved the challenge but, I also wanted it to be mobile. This way, the pieces could be used repeatedly to create new sculptures in different locations.
I love the opportunity to work with balancing the pieces - structurally as well as visually (yum!)
Working in the round, offering the viewer a multitude of perspectives as they walk around the piece, is really exciting too. Allowing the work to breath, so to speak, as it seems to undulate while it transforms itself throughout the viewers 360 degree turn about.
Color/paint would be a lot of fun to play with here too but the wood is just so beautiful itself -- the wonderful tonal qualities and the texture of all those knots are too cool to hide. Though I can't rule it our in the future.

thank you Michelle for all your help!
a bit of Kono's Surf Club Cafe breakfast and hot juice with the view
love the hats!
the black cap reads "Wayne's World" and the sombrero was pinned up in the front
many thanks to Craig and Evan for helping to hike the wood up, up and out...
