Well, it didn't die. That sneaky board tactic of threatening an vote on it's demise really, really worked. We not only defeated the motion, we elected a new board! Of 9 people!! And I'm one of them!!! So folks, now's the time to join the BCGAA and have a chance at those scholarships. I can frankly ...

Thank-you, Catharine- I looked at the site, it looks great, I will go there. Any of your pieces there yet? Leslie Not at Heller, but I do have an exhibition running currently at BE Connection Gallery that I'm very excited about! New work: http://www.bullseyeconnectiongallery.com Have a marvelous we...

Wish I were going with you - have a great time in the city!

Hiya Marty!

Blatant, or not, have a wonderful time and set new records for sales! So, when are you offering wine on the West Coast???

Waiting,
Catharine

I have a jen Ken Oval 9 and the seam drove me nuts, aside from having an evil shelf. I cut a piece of board to fit the whole bottom and it's great to have. I have a down side though and maybe it is the way I am treating it, don't know. Even after I rigidized it, it has been very tender, to say the ...

Thought I might ask about the work you found to be the most outstanding at SOFA? Favorite artists? Approaches? Materials?

It was quite the stellar assemblage of work!
Catharine

Amy,

I have fired panels 20 times with no ill effect... HOWEVER, the largest percentage of my firings are tack fusing. I probably only full fuse an entire piece 2-3 times in that 20. I don't think you'll have any problems with your next firing.

I tried to check Catharine Newell's link from the artists' list and it gives me someone else's work. I didn't go through the entire list to see if someone else's name would give me Catharine's work... yikes! :roll: Just a small snafu, I guess... My work IS there (I checked!), in the Red Auction. Th...

And then, don't forget that there's also that air of "mystique" around artists... Those who don't think of themselves as artistically inclined find those who do successfully create quite fascinating. Like the other end of the spectrum...

Judd[/quote] Looking at the images of Mr. Van Noppen's work, it appears that he has clearly thought through and defined his intent. Words are powerful. (I suspect that poets are not expected to describe in paint or music or dance the intent/content/meaning of their writings.) They can condition the ...

[quote="Brock Then . . . shouldn't the statement be changing also . . . Brock[/quote] Absolutely. I review mine about every two months, or so. The basic premise hasn't really changed, but it has become more specific with each tweaking... Catharine[/quote] Every two months! I haven't really look...

I'd also like to add that I believe a statement may be even more valuable to the artist than it is to the public. An artist statement is a distillation of the myriad intentions, approaches, techniques, thought processes and personal histories that occur during the making of our art. The statement f...

At this late a date, I'm not sure who's interested in this thread, but now I have a question. Why should we bother with an artist's statement? Truly, who reads them? The consumer might like to know we have thought out our art, the gallery owner might like to have something in writing, and fellow ar...

" Gale, I still believe that even if an artist hasn't "found" their voice, it's only because they don't recognize it - not because it isn't there. I didn't mean to imply that it was " some unobtainable magic cloak that falls out of trees" and lands on special folks!!" ...

Any takers on the resume questions?

Catharine

You have identified your field of interest. Dig deeper to find your reason why. That all-important question... It's the springboard to everything. My best to you, Catharine Catharine, Can I ask why we have to dig deeper? Isn't realizing our attraction to certain textures, shapes, or colors sufficie...

"For these artists who haven't yet discovered their voice, there are methods and exercises to assist in "voice" development. There should be as much attention paid to this area of artistic development/achievement as one would give to the understanding of physical technique". Hi ...

This has been an incredibly personal discussion. Everyone who has posted here has generously shared a thoughtful, intelligent, passionate part of themselves. This has been an extraordinary gift. Thank you. So, my next question logically involves artists statements. Do you have one? Does it get to th...

I have to admit to some confusion here... How does one achieve "voice" (which seems to sound safe to a number of people on this board) without the involvement of research, intent, content, and means of expression? Aren't they so intertwined that "voice" would be considerably weak...
