Kathy / Media Experiments / Blogging / Revisions

Many different techniques will be used to build up surface and take it away. Some of these will include; resists, collage, printing, tearing, and spraying. Some materials that will be used include but not limited to: found papers, paint (gouache and acrylic), oil pastels, salt, colored pencil, stencils, and spray bottles.

I propose to create a series of horizontally formatted pieces on paper that show many layers and techniques. One goal is for the viewer to have a sense of stratification and layering. While imagery that have been in my work (seeds, rocks and foliage) will be present, they will not dominate or be the focal point for each piece. Another challenge or goal I have is to work loosely and successfully on larger scale than I ever have before.

Four Pieces From Experiments Series

I tried to include my photos from my samples but they may have been too big and this did not post at all. The examples however, did upload to my blog

The dimensions are either 6x6", 6"x6", 6"x81/2" 6"x18" I displayed them with the rare earth magnets and tacks underneath. Materials include; colored pencil, markers, gouache, acrylic, oil pastel and chalk. I believe that the first three display successfully on a vertical.
