I have a new print available titled “Weather Patterns.” It measures 18”x24” and it is a limited edition series of 25. It’s printed on fine quality heavyweight Hahnemuhle textured fine art paper.

This print was inspired by a cut paper installation that I created of the same name. It is showing at FABPDX Artspace through July 28th. Prints of “Weather Patterns” are also for sale at the gallery. This piece is a part of the All Female Artist Showcase. There are 19 other artists that I recommend checking out. The range of work varies from illustration to installation. Come through and visit the space…

“Weather Patterns” will be available in the Studio Danae shop soon!

In keeping with yesterday’s post, I’d like to continue the spirograph theme with Joseph L. Griffiths. I am a huge fan of interactive and kinetic sculptures. When I found this “Drawing Machine” I was mesmerized. My first thought was about the line work of the pens and how the installation was assembled. My second thought was about how cool it would be to use one of those to replace the boring stationary bikes at the gym. So much fun!

Recently I’ve been doing a lot of research for some paper sculptures that I am working on. While combing the wiles of the internet I came across Tony Orrico and have fallen madly for his work. He is a visual artist, performer, and choreographer that uses his body as tool to create large scale drawings. In some instances he moves like a human spirograph, working continuously for upwards of four hours to complete one work.

What fascinates me most about his process is his precision in movement and concentration. The surprise lies in pieces like Penwald: 9: lateral bends lost, where his movement, though symetrical, seems erratic and jerky. It isn’t until the work is complete that you can really marvel at his careful attention to detail.

Take a look at more of his videos here.
