Most of the time I am delighted by who I meet. Recently, I have begun finding people again on the pages of an old social psychology book I picked up a few years ago. My goal is one per day. All will be auctioned on Ebay. <br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dj6gkPd6VAk/TzSctJQtbvI/AAAAAAAAEP0/vfiP937OB8E/s1600/sc00604836.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dj6gkPd6VAk/TzSctJQtbvI/AAAAAAAAEP0/vfiP937OB8E/s400/sc00604836.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707358927179312882" /></a><br />Juggling<br />Acrylic paint and watercolor crayon on a book page<br />10.25 x 6.75 inches<br />2012<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gq6RCcv4xnc/TzScsceWQuI/AAAAAAAAEPo/edPZ-66MA2M/s1600/sc0074883d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 261px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gq6RCcv4xnc/TzScsceWQuI/AAAAAAAAEPo/edPZ-66MA2M/s400/sc0074883d.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707358915156919010" /></a><br />Look<br />Acrylic paint and watercolor crayon on a book page<br />10.25 x 6.75 inches<br />2012<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ascMLZP1UTM/Ty3RtshWACI/AAAAAAAAEOA/top_nCgAoSE/s1600/sc00073f59.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ascMLZP1UTM/Ty3RtshWACI/AAAAAAAAEOA/top_nCgAoSE/s400/sc00073f59.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705446885923618850" /></a><br />Sight<br />Acrylic paint and watercolor crayon on a book page<br />10.25 x 6.75 inches<br />2012<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SjCnxU_qMpM/Ty3RtLhBesI/AAAAAAAAEN0/09vptOoOu3Y/s1600/sc00079cdb.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SjCnxU_qMpM/Ty3RtLhBesI/AAAAAAAAEN0/09vptOoOu3Y/s400/sc00079cdb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705446877063903938" /></a><br />Caught in the storm empty handed<br />Acrylic paint and watercolor crayon on a book page<br />10.25 x 6.75 inches<br />2012<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DCl3-NvMEIU/Ty3Rs3NwpuI/AAAAAAAAENo/WB_RDlgEsBw/s1600/sc000019d4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DCl3-NvMEIU/Ty3Rs3NwpuI/AAAAAAAAENo/WB_RDlgEsBw/s400/sc000019d4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705446871614400226" /></a><br />One<br />Acrylic paint and watercolor crayon on a book page<br />10.25 x 6.75 inches<br />2012<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-55gXOv5Smkw/Ty9Hn-Y1Y8I/AAAAAAAAEOM/9sGjX909XmI/s1600/sc001f4ce7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-55gXOv5Smkw/Ty9Hn-Y1Y8I/AAAAAAAAEOM/9sGjX909XmI/s400/sc001f4ce7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705858004989338562" /></a><br />Knot at both ends<br />Acrylic paint and watercolor crayon on a book page<br />10.25 x 6.75 inches<br />2012<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23190595-676031010306403365?l=karenjamess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karen Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02300996176436767649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23190595.post-75675684708156658132012-02-04T16:09:00.000-08:002012-02-04T16:56:38.330-08:00I'm starting to explore encaustic, and I am fascinated with it's ability to encapsulate time. The very act of adding translucent layers leaves evidence of having been present, like footprints in fresh snow, or thumbprints on clean glass. In these following pieces, I play with memory, adding bits of my past that I have collected over the years, juxtaposing them to other bits, making sense of a life lived, and making connections for a future yet explored. <br /><br />For interest sake, I have included a list of some of the items you might find encased in these paintings. These works will be on display at <a href="http://www.gimmecoffee.com/">Gimme Coffee</a> on State Street, in Ithaca NY, for the month of May.<br /> <br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5eA98Pf728U/Ty3J2nZfKmI/AAAAAAAAENE/au3XqOMiN7Q/s1600/IMG_3724.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5eA98Pf728U/Ty3J2nZfKmI/AAAAAAAAENE/au3XqOMiN7Q/s400/IMG_3724.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705438243074288226" /></a><br />Encoded Memory (A collaboration with Ethan James)<br />Mixed media and encaustic on cradled encausticbord<br />12 x 12 inches<br />2012<br />(<span style="font-style:italic;">Book pages, writing on memory written in an alphabet Ethan designed, a drawing of Ethan's from a few years back, buttons from a tin of my mom's that I used to play with as a child.</span>)<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PsWZzAKkWYc/Ty3J3VyLtSI/AAAAAAAAENQ/m1oxfAf4lD4/s1600/IMG_3722.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PsWZzAKkWYc/Ty3J3VyLtSI/AAAAAAAAENQ/m1oxfAf4lD4/s400/IMG_3722.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705438255525901602" /></a><br />Reports of a B Student<br />Mixed media and encaustic on cradled encausticbord<br />12 x 12 inches<br />2012<br />(<span style="font-style:italic;">My grade 11 and grade 12 report cards, as well as photos, news articles, and a self portrait drawing from that time.</span>)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-px1ssoHrQuE/Ty3J32AKu3I/AAAAAAAAENc/AGsDI5I2e5A/s1600/IMG_3720.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-px1ssoHrQuE/Ty3J32AKu3I/AAAAAAAAENc/AGsDI5I2e5A/s400/IMG_3720.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705438264174492530" /></a><br />A Record of Beginnings<br />Mixed media and encaustic on cradled encausticbord<br />12 x 12 inches<br />2012<br />(<span style="font-style:italic;">ECG of fetal heartbeat, ultrasound pictures of Ethan in the womb, Ethan's footprints on the day he was born.</span>)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23190595-7567568470815665813?l=karenjamess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karen Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02300996176436767649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23190595.post-9604678221981349312011-11-13T18:53:00.000-08:002011-11-13T19:07:32.651-08:00Fear of the negative influence of technology is everywhere.
