Thinking about ideas to bring color into the "con.Text" series using monotypes
Another step in extracting emotional content from an existing idea. Zooming in on “Marcus” and changing value to color #sketch #ideas #color
I am exploring deeper into the visual language that is created when using word upon word as the mark by zooming into the portrait and examining in detail the resulting abstract forms. I separate the forms by value and assign each value a color. This interplay creates another unique, emotion filled language tied to the reaction to the original document that uses at its core a gesture I had already created. It is a derivative away from its original form that is another derivative away from its original meaning. I am working through ideas for a monotype series. Zoom in “Grandfather”#wip #portraitderivative #trial anderror #colorisemotion
Whitney Rosenson from Art Dimensions and I talked about my history and process in her ongoing conversations titled Beyond the Palette. Link in bio

Last day tomorrow to see “con.Text” at the Japanese American Museum San Jose. 12-4 pm . I will be there hanging out
Lorraine’s great grandfather first came to the United States in the 1850’s on a 30ft Sampan, a Chinese fishing vessel not designed to cross an ocean. He landed in Mendocino County and immediately began work in the lumber camps as a cook. After going to China in the late 1880’s he tried to return to his family in California, but due to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 he had to pay to take the name of a citizen to be allowed back to his family in California.
“Orangutan” 24x72 From my fading light series that highlights endangered species and habitat destruction #orangutans #endangeredspecies #habitatdestruction
“Maple Fall”. 36x72. Three paintings to make one. Another in my environment series where I fracture the landscapes, cut them up and tear them apart, and reassemble them into an incomplete whole.#landscape #environment
I am honored that the De Saisset Museum chose to acquired "Manzanar" for their permanent collection. An Iconic image from the archive of Toyo Miyatake taken during the Japanese Internment during WWII. The text used are Executive Order 9066 which authorized the imprisonment of West coast Japanese Americans and Executive Order 9102 which established the War Relocation Authority who oversaw the internment. The De Saisset Museum is located in the campus of Santa Clara University with a goal of supporting the idea of educating the whole person.
