The I Ching… A Brief Explanation… 27.11.2013

One of the major things I walked away with from the art exhibit last month was:  although most people have heard of the I Ching, many were not exactly sure of what it was. I looked around for a quick explanation, but found that references to the I Ching online were either too vague or far too wordy. Thankfully, the introduction to “I Ching for Beginners” by Brandon Toropov provides an explanation that may help:

“The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is one of the oldest books of wisdom, one of the Five Classics of Chinese literature, and one of the most influential books in human history. For nearly three thousand years, it has been held in the highest regard as a work of philosophy, an artistic achievement, and, above all, an oracle.

The I Ching is based on the belief that random occurrences – chance occurrences – are not whimsical, accidental, or meaningless; but, on the contrary, chance occurrences are synchronized with some higher wisdom or universal order – if they are interpreted correctly.

After thousands of years, people still consult the I Ching for guidance or advice or when seeking answers to important questions.”

The I Ching is based on a system of eight trigrams: Dragon (or Heaven), Earth, Thunder, Water, Mountain, Wind, Fire and Lake. Each of these trigrams combines with another to create a total of sixty-four hexagrams “expressing sixty-four aspects of life and its changes.”

The most common way to build your hexagram is to toss three coins while asking a question – it is recommended to “make it as specific as possible, mentioning dates, names, and places – but keep it short.  Avoid questions requiring a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer.” Or, you can ask no question at all and the I Ching “will automatically respond to the major issue of your life and advise on your general situation.” (Richard Gill, “I Ching: The Little Book that Tells the Truth”)

I Ching coins
I own both a set of I Ching coins and a deck of I Ching cards, similar to the Western Tarot. Although I have not used them for divination in many years, the cards came in handy at the beginning of the year when I was searching for elements to develop a series around.

The I Ching project is not an attempt to visually interpret the hexagrams and their meanings, but instead use its beautiful, simple structural design paired with the biomorphic designs as basic requirements. In many cases, the design comes first and the hexagram chosen matches my mood or what I am thinking about ~90% of the time. For example, while I was designing the Celtic Knot for “#3 A Difficult Beginning”, I was having an incredibly difficult time attempting a double-knot and I had thought that I had ruined the entire design. I put the painting aside for a couple of weeks and then when I went back to it, everything just seemed to fall into place. Suddenly the design worked. When the time came to name the painting and add the hexagram, I opened the I Ching to #3 – and burst out laughing, the title was so appropriate.

Artist Date: Hill-Stead Museum... 16.11.2013


Last Saturday we had an opportunity to visit the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington, CT. In all honestly, this museum would not have been on our radar had we not purchased Connecticut ARTTRAIL passes in June so we could see the Caravaggio exhibit at the Wadsworth Athenaeum. 
Hill-Stead Museum

The Connecticut ARTTRAIL pass (www.arttrail.org) is a brilliant idea – I just wish that more states created arts programs like this: 15 museums and historical sites have united to offer a pass that will allow one visit to each of the participating sites for only $25.00/per pass AND the pass is good for one year. It’s an amazing savings and can pay for itself in only two visits. What I like about it is that it allows you an opportunity to check out other museums you may not have thought about visiting and occasionally you find a gem – like the Hill-stead Museum.


The Hill-Stead Museum is not a museum in the conventional sense, up until the 1950s it was a home (if you can call a 30,000 square foot building a “home”), a working estate. The museum sits on 152 acres and boasts a sunken garden and walking trails – we only had time to check out two of them, but they are a great way to stretch your legs after the tour. And it IS a tour – you are not allowed to wander through the museum on your own… although our guide did mention that you are allowed to do so during their Open Houses.


The Sunken Garden
The tour runs for approximately one hour and the tour guides provide extensive details about the lives of the owners, the Pope family, and stress how the home was designed to complement the artwork. The architect for the home is none other than the owner’s daughter: Theodate Pope, who, according to their website, it the 4th registered female architect in the country.

In the dining room, you will find Degas’ pastel “Jockeys”, which hangs over a fireplace mantel designed specifically for it, and Whistler’s “Symphony in Violet and Blue”. The connecting Mauve Room boasts three Monet’s, two of which are grainstack paintings, a drawing by Manet as well as his “The Guitar Player”, a small drawing by Henri Matisse, and Degas’ “Dancers in Pink”.
The house has two libraries (and here I am, wishing for just one), one flowing into the other with wonderful window seats and chairs you would love to sink into. A couple of steps down from the 2nd library you’ll find Mr. Pope’s office, with sprawling views of the property and Theodate’s collection of architecture prints on one of the walls.
The final room on the 1st floor of the tour is a very modern guest bedroom (complete with private bath) which houses Degas’ pastel “The Tub”. The tour guide will encourage you to study the artwork close up, focusing on how Degas builds up the layers and textures and then step back into the library and see if you can detect a difference in the viewing experience.
Engravings line the stairwell wall, but the tour rushes you through them, instead focusing on encouraging you to hold onto the railing to bring you closer to the “important” individuals who came before you. The tour guide casually mentions that you are walking past 400 years of artistic history as you pass.


In the upstairs hallway, you will see two Albrecht Durer drawings as well as portraits of the Pope family. There is bedroom full of Japanese woodblock prints, disappointingly, this room is no longer open to the public due to the condition of the carpet, so you can only view the prints from the doorway and the only painting of note on the second floor is Mary Cassatt’s “Sarah Handing a Toy to the Baby” in the Green Room.


Throughout the museum you will see an extensive collection of Chinese vases and bronze sculpture, most of which is placed to compliment the paintings.

The tour guides will tell you that these works are not loaned out and the Trust does not allow photographs or reproductions, so this is the only place you will see these pieces aside from the museum’s website: www.hillstead.org.


The only portions of the house that are opened for the tour are the rooms that the Pope family lived in, all of the rooms that their support staff would have used have been converted into offices for the museum volunteers, which is a shame because it would have given a more balanced view of daily life at the beginning of the 20th century had those rooms been allowed to be preserved and viewed.

I would recommend visiting Hill-Stead in the spring, when the gardens are in bloom… touring the property in the late fall, as we did, felt as if something was missing. The museum hosts many events throughout the year, so planning your visit in conjunction with one could only enhance your experience.

People's Choice Award and Works in Progress... 2.11.2013

People's Choice Award
This afternoon my niece, Liz, and I went to pick up my paintings at the Nevins Memorial Library and were surprised to see that there was an additional award hanging near “#25 Remaining Blameless” – it had won the People’s Choice Award!

What had started out as an opportunity to receive some feedback regarding the I Ching Project has far exceeded all expectations I had for this exhibition. My intention was simply to show the pictures, to listen to what the guests were saying about them and to meet other artists. To have won three awards – especially the People’s Choice Award – was completely unexpected.

I would like to thank everyone who came out to see the show and gave me such positive comments and wonderful advice about the direction of the project.


#31 Mingling - In progress
Now I would like to take the opportunity to keep my promise to my Aunites on the west coast and show some works in progress as well as some recently completed ones:


"#45 Mingling" is still in it's preliminary stages, the essential design has been laid out, but none of the shapes have been filled in yet. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, but now that the painting has been named, the rest of the design should come pretty quickly.


#31 Attraction - In progress



With "#31 Attraction" I continued my experiment with Chinese lattice work design. I have had difficulty in the past adapting my designs to straight lines, but feel that this has been more successful than previous ones I had worked on. Most of the shapes have been filled in and the next step is to add the hexagram and the Chinese character. The final step will be adding the ink layers.





#58 Truth - In progress





In "#58 Truth", I have continued to work with adding a Celtic Knot to the design. Ultimately, this piece will have a vertical line almost halfway through the painting. The idea is to incorporate the Chinese lattice work on a larger scale.











With "33 Retreat", I decided to move away from a more structured approach and work more loosely. One of the many pieces of advice I received at the show was to try to keep the designs simple, despite my instinct to make them more complicated and challenging.














"#41 Reduction" is actually ironically named, as the Celtic Knot design has actually got more involved and complicated, but the biomorphic design has become more restrained.











"#49 Revolution" is the first painting that I experimented with Chinese lattice work designs. As I mentioned previously, I have had difficulty incorporating straight lines into my designs in the past - mostly failed Celtic Knots containing straight lines - but this design allowed me to see that there is still a lot to be explored before this project is completed.

Reception for the 12th Annual AIGMV Art Exhibit… 28.10.2013



The Nevins Memorial Library hosted the reception for the 12th Annual Arts Institute Group of the Merrimack Valley’s (AIGMV) Art Exhibit on Thursday, October 24th, 2013. Thirty-three artists were represented and there were almost 100 pieces of original art and sculpture on display.

I unexpectedly won both 1st and 2nd place in the Pastel/Drawing/Pen&Ink group, please see the pictures and the judge's comments below:
1st Place: "#25 Remaining Blameless"

"It appears almost as though we are looking through a window as we look through the framework border of this piece. Delicate mark making and savvy technique are clearly demonstrated in this work. the vertical line of the Asian symbol appears to rip its way through the center of the piece, assaulting our eye and arresting out attention. It appears that paper is being torn away on the leaf edges, and the splashes of watercolor (ink) with tiny line lie in stark contrast to the firm and decisive lines of the symbol. A nice amount of tension gives the piece strength. Wonderfully presented in its mat and frame as well." - Susan Kneeland, Judge





2nd Place: "#3 A Difficult Beginning"


 "Intense shaped on the surface plane of this mixed media piece contrast perfectly against the busied watercolor and ink background. The work is a symbolic Asian fortune image that shows us the artistic interpretation the 'difficult beginning; the title eludes to. Emerging from chaos, the main symbol has no struggle for attention with its deep clear lines of definition. Upon further inspection, we are invited to enjoy fine lines and forms delicately describing the details here and there. This work shows extreme technical process, and great creative imagery! Nice work!" - Susan Kneeland, Judge

It has been over 20 years since my last art show opening and reception and I will admit to being totally blown away by all of the positive feedback, creative suggestions and unwavering support that I have received from family, friends, fellow AIGMV members and total strangers. Quite a few people sought me out just to tell me how much they enjoyed my work, to ask how the pictures were created and to inquire about the series - their enthusiasm was overwhelming.

This has been an amazing and positive experience and I cannot thank everyone enough for all their support and patience over the past couple of months.

Artist Date: Western Avenue Open Studios… 11.10.2013

Lowell Open Studios Postcard

The Western Avenue Studios participated in the October Open Studios in Lowell, MA the weekend of October 5th and 6th. They were just one of nine art studios/venues that participated in the city-wide event. This October celebrated the 13th Annual Open Studios and each year it is wonderful to see more and more artists becoming involved.

I had an opportunity to attend the Western Ave Open Studios last Sunday and a chance to visit with some of the artists that I haven’t been able to view their work previously. I have been attending the Open Studios off/on for a while now, but it is up to the artist’s discretion on whether or not they wish to participate in the Open Studios… and during the summer months, quite a lot of them are unavailable. The Open Studios are held the first Saturday of every month, however, during October and December they are open both Saturday and Sunday allowing for more time to visit with the artists.

I love this event and have long been fascinated in how other artists set up their studios: What supplies do they use? What books are in their library? What music inspires them? How do they have their studios set up? Is the entire studio used as work space or do they have a display area for visitors?  I enjoy wandering through the studios and chatting with the artists about their work, who influences them and what inspires them, to discuss their techniques and learn about new business practices. All of the artists I have come in contact with at Western Ave are very open and happy to talk about their work and have been extremely helpful in offering advice on how to become established in the local art community.
Entrance to the Western Avenue Studios

Those who have never attended an Open Studio event may find the immense size of the buildings a little overwhelming, but remember: this is an on-going event and you can chose to do only a portion of the studios per visit. It is a great opportunity to see some great art, make new friends and support the local art community – best of all: the event is FREE.

There is literally something for everyone at Western Ave Studios: every style of painters working in all media, fabric artists (there is a wonderful artist that designs playful yarn creatures), photography, sculpture – don’t miss the gargoyles on the 5th floor or the Metal Men, stained glass, jewelry design and ceramics… there is even a model ship studio with amazingly intricate battleships. Many of these artists also offer classes and workshops, so if you are interested in learning or trying out a new media, you will have plenty of choices to pick from.

Please note: there are elevators in the mill buildings, I find it easier to take the elevator to the top floor and work my way down. There are also plenty of common areas on each floor with seating for those who wish to take a break during their visit.

Upcoming 2013 Western Ave Open Studios:
November 2nd from noon to 5:00 pm
December 7th & 8th and 14th & 15th (first two weekends in December) from noon to 5:00 pm

The Western Ave Studios are located at 122 Western Avenue near downtown in Lowell, MA and consists of two converted mill buildings connected by a “bridge” that encompasses six floors and over 200 artists. Please check out their website and blog for upcoming events and exhibitions for the Loading Dock Gallery as well as artists in residence at: http://westernavenuestudios.com/

Artist Date: Fort Williams Park... 5.10.2013


One of the things that I have found incredibly important – and just as easily forgotten about or put off (I will admit to being guilty of this) – is the need to recharge your artistic batteries regularly. I first read about this idea in Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way” about 15 years ago, and although her 15 week creative block program didn’t work for me, her idea of a planning a regular Artist Date DID. An Artist Date does not necessarily have to cost anything and it is entirely up to you to decide on what to do during your “date” – after all, it is your time to spend with your “inner artist” (Cameron’s phrasing).  For me, an Artist Date may consist of:     
·         wandering through an art supply store checking out potential new supplies
·         browsing the new releases in a book store or attending a library sale
·         attending an art show at a gallery or museum (keep an eye out for free admission dates or check your local library for free or discounted passes) or local Open Studio or Arts on the Green events
·         watching an art biopic
·         reading an artist biography or material that the artist has written themselves
·         getting out of my comfort zone and taking my sketchbook out to a park for the afternoon
Portland Head Light #1


This weekend’s Artist Date introduced us to Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth, ME. My partner had suggested an overnight stay just outside of Portland, ME with the idea of grabbing some downtime before preparations for the upcoming show start ramping up. Some of our best trips have had minimal or absolutely no agenda (including final destination) at all and last weekend nothing was planned outside of hanging out at the beach and checking to see if the area could be a source for new adventures.  Sunday morning found us just north of Two Lights State Park and we had noticed on the map that Fort Williams Park was relatively close-by, so we decided to try to locate it and check it out.

Portland Head Light #2
Fort Williams Park is a decommissioned fort; it has 90+ acres of green space and rocky coastline for visitors to enjoy. They have a small, relatively sandy beach, remnants of a mansion and military fortifications, a large pavilion area for parties and family reunions, walk-up access to Portland Head Light (with museum and gift shop) with amazing views of nearby Ram Island Ledge Light and Casco Bay. Additionally, visitors have access to a number of playing fields (we saw soccer and flag football games going on in separate sections of the park and rumor has it there are tennis courts and a baseball field), along with crushed stone coastal pathways and picnics areas overlooking the rocky coastline – some actually have grills… and, best of all: the park is FREE.


You may be wondering how this can be considered an Artist Date. As I previously mentioned, an Artist Date can be anything you wish it to be, in this case: scouting out potential areas to spend the day working on my projects, taking photos and gathering ideas. Cape Elizabeth is only an hour and half from Lawrence, MA, so this makes it an assessable area to day-trip to, plus you have access to Portland itself, which is an art-friendly city and one that I hope to be spending more time in. Also, once home, I had a chance to check out their website: http://www.capeelizabeth.com/visitors/attractions/fort_williams_park/home.html and learned that we had just missed the annual Labor Day Art Show… giving us an “excuse” to return again next year and spend more time there.

Portland Head Light #3
NOTE: For those not familiar with Julia Cameron’s  “The Artist’s Way” and would like to learn more, please check out: http://juliacameronlive.com/basic-tools/artists-dates As I mentioned, her program didn’t work for me, but I did get some constructive ideas out of it, maybe another creatively blocked artist could benefit more from it.

Announcement: Art Exhibit… 27.9.2013

Last week my partner surprised me with an early birthday gift: paid membership to the Arts Institute Group of the Merrimack Valley. The gift came with what we refer to as a “push”: he wants me to participate in the upcoming exhibit the group was organizing.

I will fully admit that my first reaction was to immediately freak out. 

Over the course of the week, I have slowly settled into the idea of participating in my first show since 1991… and into the flurry of activity that is associated with preparing for a show: ensuring that all critical dates are clearly noted on the calendar, deciding on which three pictures to submit, debating on whether or not I can remember how to custom frame my own artwork or if I need to search for a good, local framer, scouring the Internet for advice and framing coupons…


As nervous as I am about the upcoming show, I am very curious to see what the reaction will be to the first couple of pieces of I Ching project. I am hoping that there may be some great feedback/suggestions on how to continue to develop the project and where to go next. I am looking forward to the input.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
I will be participating in the following exhibit next month:

The 12th Annual Art Exhibit and Sale
Presented by the Arts Institute Group of the Merrimack Valley

The exhibit will be held in the Great Hall on the 3rd floor of the Nevins Memorial Library on Route 28 in Methuen, MA.

Exhibit opens: Wednesday, October 23rd
Artist Reception and Awards Night: Thursday, October 24th
Exhibit closes: Saturday, November 2nd

Library hours:
Monday thru Thursday: 10:00 am – 8:00 pm.
Friday and Saturday: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm.
Closed Sunday.
Admission is free.

Artist block and the genesis of a new project... 21/9/2013


I have been an artist off/on for over 30 years. I say off/on because life happens, plans derail, and people develop artist block.

My artist block has been one of the most difficult things I have ever tried to overcome. Happily – and completely unexpectedly - I have been able to make some incredible breakthroughs in regards to my artist block over the past six months thanks to the persistence and support I have been receiving from my partner. The most important thing that he has said to me was that art should be “play” not work, not take it too seriously, to simply let go and see what happens.

#3 A Difficult Beginning

Up until the beginning of this year, I had been unable to produce art regularly. I would find myself going through phases in which I would be overcome with this incredible need to develop or work on a project, but whenever I sat down to “work” or attempt to execute the project, I would freeze up and would be unable to add even one line to the paper I was looking at.

The origins for artist block are endless and vary from artist to artist, but, in my case, it is fear. Fear of people not connecting or enjoying my work, of not being good enough and (surprisingly) fear of succeeding and then being unable to continue to produce work that people will embrace.

After years of frustration dealing with my artist block, I read an article in March of this year about a 30-day art journal challenge – work for 30 minutes in your journal for 30 days. All other ideas up until this point had failed, so there wasn’t any harm trying the challenge – the big question was: would I be able to complete it? And I did. It wasn’t easy, in fact it was extremely frustrating at times, but I had the support I needed and it WORKED. I started “playing” and eventually came upon my current project in the process.

#46 Striving Upwards

In an effort to continue to work through the artist block, I bought a set of stencils with organic designs – or biomorphic, as I came to refer to them. Armed with the stencils, a couple of boxes of Sharpies, and a stack of ancient watercolor paper I began “playing” regularly. The only “rule” was that the designs would be done entirely in ink – no pencil, no pre-planning. I started working with 15x22 sheets of watercolor paper, added a 0.25 inch black border, and used the stencils to produce designs. After a couple of weeks, this evolved into adding simple Celtic knots and, ultimately, on a whim, Chinese hexagrams from a portable book of the I Ching that I had. The result was the I Ching project.

The I Ching project will ultimately be a series of 64 mixed-media paintings – one for each of the 64 I Ching hexagrams. The only “static” requirements for the mixed-media paintings are: the black border, the addition of an I Ching hexagram and the corresponding Chinese character… anything else that may be included in the mixed-media paintings is entirely up to whatever inspires me at the time the painting is created. Right now, I have been working with the idea of combining Celtic knots with the biomorphic designs, next month it could be something entirely different. I have no idea what direction this project will go in, all I do know is that the mixed-media paintings completed at the beginning of this project will be entirely different from the ones completed at the end of it.
#25 Remaining Blameless


I am well aware that this is an ambitious project, but I have already completed 1/3 of the mixed-media paintings, so I am well on my way. I am also very much aware that not all of the designs “work”- and that’s OK, too. Not every painting will be “great” and not everyone will connect with them, but I can use the “failed” paintings to inspire new directions and new ideas. After all, it certainly doesn’t hurt to try an idea out.

Attached are three of the I Ching paintings… I have been working on getting the color correct with my camera for the past couple of weeks, but so far have been unsuccessful; maybe someone has a suggestion for future postings.

Any questions, comments or suggestions can be made either on this blog or sent to my email address: offthegrid91@gmail.com.
