This is my art.

Philadelphia artists who collaborate and share b32

16/112007

fused glass workshop presentation

I haven’t writ­ten about much Art here at unpre­dictable thoughts now that I have my stel­la gas­saway art­log in which I write about what is hap­pen­ing in my stu­dio and what new work I am mak­ing. That space is all about me. 

This pho­to is an image I took at build­ing 32 at sher­man mills in the neigh­bor­hood of east falls. I live there and I have my art stu­dio there. This image is about the cul­ture of shar­ing I find so impor­tant in being part of the com­mu­ni­ty. Sandy Chieri­ci is one of the artists that has formed a col­lab­o­ra­tive to offer work­shops and expe­ri­ences to artists and nonartists alike. She hopes to increase the inter­est in warm glass in the philadel­phia area. This is a group of par­tic­i­pants in one of her work­shops tak­ing a look at a slide show of work in which Sandy explains tech­niques used in the pieces.

I have been work­ing with the group. I recent­ly designed their iden­ti­ty and have cre­at­ed some mar­ket­ing mate­ri­als for them. You can check out the tem­po­rary web­site : b32, a new site is cur­rent­ly under devel­op­ment. It will offer much more in depth information.

Its great fun to take pho­tos and learn about oth­er medi­ums and the won­der­ful artists that share the experience.

aRt cards for my open studio [moo!]

04/102007

These are the cards I’ve made for my open stu­dio com­ing up in Octo­ber. (You can read more about my art at my art­log.) How is this unpre­dictable you say? Well I cre­at­ed a set of images from my draw­ings at flickr, then they were ran­dom­ly select­ed to make the cards. Vis­i­tors to my stu­dio will be able to choose a card when they sign in at a cor­re­spond­ing block in my guest­book. There will be more about this sto­ry and how it all turns out in my art­log. I just orderd anoth­er set of one hun­dred. Let’s hope the Roy­al Mail strike does­n’t hold them up.

new drawings : egyptian waters

28/052007

http://stellagassaway.com/egyptian%20waters/undecidedcurrents.gif
I’ve just com­plet­ed a new series of draw­ings. Drawn on rag vel­lum with ink. You can see the whole series at my port­fo­lio. These draw­ings are made using a series of marks that make up a vocab­u­lary which when placed in order cre­ate a sto­ry about water. The marks are a hiero­glyph­ics. A series of marks that when deci­phered tell the story.

You can always find my work at : stel­la gas­saway : mem­o­ry landscapes

birthday Fabriano Artist’s Journal

23/052007

My pal Jayne gave me this ter­rif­ic jour­nal for my birthday.

I think just look­ing at it gives you an idea of how won­der­ful it is — just to have around. Draw­ing on the paper is FAB­u­lous. Even has a rib­bon bookmark. 

Just click on the image to trav­el to a page where you can get one.

inspirational winter light

09/112006

This is a pho­to­graph of my art stu­dio. This is the won­de­ful light that I have start­ing in mid Octo­ber. My hibis­cus has begun to thrive and will bloom through the win­ter… in the sum­mer they resie in the shade and a lush green with­out any blooms. Octo­ber takes the leaves off the trees that block the light and it become an indoor spring. The nat­ur­al light brings me to dif­fer­ent kinds of draw­ings. I post­ed this image because it cre­ates a sense of calm for me.

On the wall are some of my draw­ings that I did over the sum­mer months.

I look for­ward to the win­ter week­ends here. I’ll sit in my chair, drink tea, cof­fee, or choco­late depend­ing on my mood. I’ll draw the land­scapes of my memories.

I’ve just start­ed get­ting my draw­ings up online. You can check them out here.
