day 4, the 2000's

Day 4, the 2000’s, my brother had sent me a Mac, [one of the all time great presents] used as a graphic’s work station, 32 mgs of ram with 2 hard drives totally 2.3 gigs of space and a monitor bigger than our TV. I fell in love. I loved the ability to layer, whether it was sound or images. A few years later I realized I wanted my images to stop moving and began to work with video stills, using their grainy vitality as part of the work. And with all the layering came simplicity of image, a paring back to color and shape.

The Ferry to Grand Manan

Bright, clear light, cool to cold breezes, shimmering water, simple strong shapes and grids everywhere. Did I say I loved that ferry ride?

2 for Jazz

I am loving the shapes and lines from these boat plans that my brother sent me last week. After working on the web site [which is coming along thanks to some great suggestions from friends, especially the words archive and responsive ] it is a total pleasure to play with shape, line and colour.
