Night Cometh, Still Working

Image
Outside / In Fisher Studio     Night Cometh!   Our season of sun and long hours to work and to play in is fading.   Where did the Summer go ?   I am very thankful for the long hot August days I’ve had to “Rust Print” in and appreciative now of Puget Power and Light to extend the workday beyond the Biblically allotted 12 hours of light!  And I’m taking full advantage of all the light-emitting diodes in my new studio to complete what I have started in Summer light!

Rust Prints in Process

Image
I have been grinding plates, cutting Mylar stencils and making rust happen in the August heat. Vashon Island rarely exceeds the mid 80's but that's the perfect temperature to make rust prints!  Here are a few shots of two prints in process.

"Hylas, Lost to Love" Rust Monoprint, 14x14 in. I just returned from Edmonds, WA and the Unclad 2016 Exhibition.  After a hiatus of several years, art director and promoter Gale Picken ( 66 Events ) recreated and moved her themed show from Stanwood, WA to the Edmonds, WA Yacht club.  I was delighted to once again exhibit in this venue and with 90 wonderful artists from across North America.  Unclad 2016

It's About Time

Image
I'm currently exhibiting work at Plymouth Church in Seattle.  Above is "The Mill of Time," a Rust Monottype with Gold Leaf, 30x30 in.  And below is "Vortex of the Eternal Now," also a Rust Monotype with Gold Leaf and with the same dimensions. "The Mill of Time" and "Vortex of the Eternal Now" celebrate with process and image the mystery of Time.  Measurable but elastic, time is experienced only in the present but is anticipated as future and remembered as past!

Born to Print, Monotype Workshop!

Image
Good friend and art compatriot, Ilse Reimnitz and I share the billboard in a couple upcoming shows.(Corvadie Press’s “Printmakers Hand III” and “B2 Gallery Fall Exhibit” in September-November). In mid August we also taught a Monotype workshop at Ilse’s gorgeous print/paint studio.   We’re equally passionate about print process and in this class we felt particularly well matched with six print curious artists that were so obviously born to print !  Here are just a few images from a wonderful weekend!
