I have spent the last year in the art world with a pretty scattered focus. Most of the year has been spent making specific work for shows and events. This hasn’t really set well with me; I want to make work that feel true to my artistic voice and worry about who is going to buy it later, rather than trying to make work that I think is “sellable” including matching the price point that my galleries tend to sell within. The latter hasn’t worked well for me on an artistic level , or even, especially, in sales.
I have decided that I want to spend the next calendar year exploring some surface design techniques like vat dyeing, and making a body of work based on winged creatures, primarily wading birds, and sharing those explorations through my website and blog. At the end of the year I will reevaluate where and how I want to show my pieces. I want my concentration on mastering new surface design techniques and more deeply exploring my artistic voice. It’s a much narrower focus for me that really feels right.
As part of honing my focus, it feels like a good time for some of my older work to move on to new homes. I want to pare down the pieces that I currently have stored here.
To that end, I am going to reduce the prices on the majority of my work for the rest of 2009 by 25%.
I normally price my work at $1.50 per square inch. For 2009, I will price my work at $1.12 per square inch. All of my work is posted on my main website-click the gallery button on the left side of the page. You can calculate from the measurements listed or email me about any work that you are interested in and I’ll do the math 🙂 I am open to payments, and may be open to an art swap as well.
There are some pieces that are either traveling for long periods in exhibitions or are works that are the basis for larger series I’m planning in the future.
Excluded pieces are:
“Herons”
Any Lascaux Series pieces
and Evening Meditation (it’s traveling for another year with SAQA@20)
I will feature a piece every day until the end of the year on my blog.
Thanks and happy shopping 🙂
