There are many digital games to play with intricate abstract designs! My two circle drawings based on David Gallagher’s Segmental Sculpture have become landscape and beetle backs now…

Inspired by a photo

P.T. Artist Sandra Stowell Posted on by

I was inspired by an old b&w photo of a sculpture by David Gallager (Segmental Sculpture, 1977, Green River Community College), which has been recently refurbished. I loved the tones of the older photo, as well as the shapes and qualities of the sculpture. So a little drawing, then a lot of digital playing:

Sometimes I work, and work and wonder “why?” I must suppose this angst is just the human condition.  And working does keep me off the streets (by keeping my alcohol consumption down a bit). And, in truth, I crave all kinds of impossible things:  rocks, bones, etc. that can only be imagined,  so I must create them myself… Mind you I don’t ever reach the perfection of the vision, but again, that is the human condition.

Quote of the Day (said about my work!)

They All Came

They All Came

On Monday I received a wonderful, unsolicited comment / compliment from a fellow artist, about this work, when I left it at Northwind Arts Center for juror review:

“that is a very powerful piece”

I couldn’t ask for a better compliment: so sincere, and so satisfying! I am happy!

I certainly hope the juror agrees!  If so, this will be on exhibit in March in the show “Earth Matters”.
