Incidentally it takes great skill, determination, and dare we say rigor, to achieve the effortless spontaneity of a child. Twombly and Dubuffet come to mind. I love the way you're giving your self over to the process.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723278818817450464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-78434280181030279492012-07-10T06:52:35.692-04:002012-07-10T06:52:35.692-04:00Suzanne, right now I'm enjoying the potato tex...Suzanne, right now I'm enjoying the potato texture, but wrapping a potato in gauze could be interesting; I'll keep it in mind for the future.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-66498555821221250482012-07-09T22:10:42.549-04:002012-07-09T22:10:42.549-04:00with your interest in textiles, i wonder how wrapp...with your interest in textiles, i wonder how wrapping a potato piece with muslin or gauze would look? i love your playful approach, it's so important for artists to work this way oftenSUZANNE SIEGELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14405504324670198986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-80967145138935425802012-07-09T18:19:34.070-04:002012-07-09T18:19:34.070-04:00Thanks, Catherine; I like that there's some co...Thanks, Catherine; I like that there's some complexity within the minimal.<br />And thank you too, Susan. Glad you find these interesting. I think I'll stick to cardboard for my relief prints. Linoleum is too complicated to cut and too smooth; I like the irregularity of the cardboard, just as I like it with the potatoes.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-40675353142687742162012-07-09T17:55:31.887-04:002012-07-09T17:55:31.887-04:00You seem to be making something interesting with t...You seem to be making something interesting with these prints.
