art ideas

with new studio I feel inspired. for instance, I picked up
six drawers from a chest of drawers being discarded. USed
them to haul small items to and fro but discovered after
removing the hardware that erected they would potentially
form good containers for compositions. In the back of my
mind was the composition of various ceramic forms to be
placed on the top. I read on Barnett Newman with his "zip"
forms in abstract expressionism and contemplated my own
versions of them in the back. This reflects a preoccupation
with what is frame and what is picture that I've worked
with over years now. Nothing like having a ready made box
to start with -- six of them in fact meaning that I can
play with differences within modular units.
