friday night fatigue

May 11, 2008

Hi ladies, I hope you are all doing well - it’s been a while since we’ve been in touch. let me know how you are doing. it’s friday evening and i am quite tired and feeling overwhelmed, but I wanted you to see a couple of my works in progress. they have potential and I am thrilled because I felt I wasn’t getting anyhere lately. maybe because it’s spring. check out my set of “library catalog cards” on  http://www.flickr.com/photos/dorisred  i also want to add “hopscotch” as an image. i saw a wonderful bookcover of a hopscotch drawing. it brought back memories as does my child’s drawing. 

p.s. this was a post from earlier. I just wanted to move it to here!

4 artists in an elevator

March 15, 2008

Four artists who don’t know one another very well, but are working together… the symbol of the elevator representing work and I have worked in many places having elevators, although now I try to walk up the stairs! Elevators are cold and inhuman … represented frequently and notably in film and television. Some bumbling moments in elevators finding your way or making contact! I’m sure there are other symbols with more human manifestations. Anyway, an interesting idea - perhaps for a cooperative piece or simply a way to think of jobs I have had! Have fun, Doris  p.s. one of my New Years resolutions this year was to try to have more fun with my art (to lighten up and not take it so seriously, flow with it) 

Welcome!

Welcome to Artists Working.  We had a great first meeting. I will work out the technical details of the blog as we get going - By and by I will post a new “mission” statement. My original one needs rewriting based on our meeting. Maybe I’ll post them all!For this first post I am going to list all the titles mentionned. For now let’s just let it lie until we are further along.  Good luck, Doris
