Just caught the end of the day for this one. In it I'm playing with the new ideas that have been coming to me around generating complex patterns with simple guidelines. I'm happy with what resulted and the design is still in progress.
My first time out to the beach in a looong time! And it was a beautiful day :-) When I got there though, there was like a convention of feisty dogs running around marking up a perfectly smooth beach...I had to sit and let it be and trust that the design would show through. And it did, but this panorama I stitched together is whats hurting now. But it gives the essence. I did a riff from a recurring them except that this time I raked in only the intersections of lines and not the line itself. Thats how the 'stars' can feel so conencted. if you look closely you can see the small line I used to start the design off. Its fun to reveal less and less of the architecture and focus what is happening on top of the structure.
The latest creation inspired by Japanese cloud paintings. Winter is arriving and with it the amazing canvas returns in its full(er) glory. (You see, the winter ocean washes away the summer sand build up which acts like a damn to the high tide. Less damn, more wet beach= larger canvas!)
Imagine my surprise when I was asked to be interviewed by CNN! They even picked me up in a chauffeured sedan! I had to do the interview in front of a backdrop of downtown SF (as you'll see!) and stare into a camera. I found it tough to stay focused on the questions and responses without any human feedback. Anyhow, while I'm curious as to the exact choice of material included, I'm happy with the experience.
Here's a fun film done by my friends at Videology with funding from the Marin Arts Council. Ember and I were hauling @ss to finish in time- we had bitten off more than we could reasonably chew. There's a point when, while only barely beginning the shading, I recall looking up at the expanse we had already marked out and thought 'How the <bleep> are we going to finish this- I'm already tired!!'
A glorious day at the beach, as you can see. And the only hitch with the vid is the potision and angle of the sun which doesn't allow for as rich a contrast as it would be at, say, sunset. A small quibble.
This was a fun one. I did an interview for the Marin youth journalism program Fast Forward. And then we went out to the beach and did a painting together.
