The Word and Image <\/em>show\u00a0is one of my favorite projects and it took place last month at the Hoffman Center for the Arts<\/span><\/a> in Manzanita (on the Oregon coast). This event occurs biennially, and I was fortunate to have participated in 2020, so I was eager to apply for 2022. The process for the show goes like this:<\/p>\n

Artists and writers are invited to submit samples of their work; artists submit three art images and writers submit three poems\/short stories. The jury then chooses 12 artists and 12 writers. A pairing<\/em> event is held where an artist’s name is pulled from a hat, then a writer’s name is pulled from a hat, and voila! those two are partners. The artist choses one of the three writing entries and creates a new piece of art in response to the words, likewise, the writer choses a piece of art from those submitted and writes a poem or short story in response. This new work is submitted electronically so beautiful broadsides can be printed and a book prepared and published.<\/p>\n

MY PAINTING PROCESS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I chose to use an 18×28 inch cradled birch panel. I prepared it with acrylic paint, a layer of plaster, more acrylic paint to seal the plaster, and a couple layers of oil and cold wax. This was all the preparation to begin painting in response to the writer I was paired with, Simeon Dreyfuss. I chose Simeon’s poem, Walk Roots the Day<\/em> as the piece I was using for my responsive painting. When the initial layers of my prepped board were completely dry, I wrote Simeon’s poem across the surface of my board.<\/p>\n

I began adding layers of paint, looking for the poem to emerge.<\/p>\n

I used my painting for a demo when I was teaching at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology this summer. The demo was how to scrape off paint!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After layers of paint, and scraping off a layer, I worked on this piece when I wasn’t teaching at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology<\/span> <\/a>– either early in the morning, or in the evening after my students had left for the day. It seemed appropriate to be painting this piece while I was at Cascade Head on the Oregon coast.<\/p>\n

I played around with this design and color idea by painting a small piece on paper and a 12×12 inch piece on a cradled panel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

THE SHOW<\/h3>\n

Art was delivered to the gallery, art and broadsides were hung, an online reception was held, and a beautiful book was published.<\/p>\n

A HAPPY POSTSCRIPT<\/h3>\n

As I was working on this blog post, I took a break to welcome Paula Booth into my home. Paula is a professor of art at Western Oregon University and also curates the art at two northwest hotels, The Dundee <\/span><\/a>and The Independence<\/span><\/a>. I am fortunate to have art at both hotels and we had made arrangements for Paula to come to my house to view my available work to change out some of my pieces at The Independence. I had just picked up Storm Mounting<\/em> from the Hoffman Center for the Arts, and so it was one of my available pieces. Paula was excited to include this painting in the group of paintings she selected.<\/p>\n
