This past week I've been trying to capture the changes brought by shadows - late afternoon subtlety and midday sharpness. I'm trying to develop a better sense of how texture is conveyed - the chair backs, the matt finish on the table, variegated lilly, louvres casting a shadow on the outdoor blinds. Transparency of liquid. Somehow I think I could develop an entire life's work simply from observing and playing with shadows. For now, sketching and developing a finer eye for the nuances of shade.
Priority #1: Create My CBD office sits on the edge of this mighty, murky waterway - the Brisbane River. Over the next six months I'll be working on an exhibition piece as part of the Broadstrokes artists group. Starting with the obvious, I'm making preliminary sketches to determine the substrate form. I need to consider how it will perform under the visual intent of the piece. That is, " substrate " can be used to convey those things which " underly " or " sit beneath " the primary image. Infused by a river. I need to consider the political, social, economic, ethical or moral connections. I'll also explore which materials are best suited for that purpose.
