BAD ART

Join us this Saturday, July 13th, at 2pm, for one last beautiful gathering in the gallery!

We’ll be having a conversation about the show, how we arrived at our projects, what it took to get there, and what we’ve learn along the way. It’s the perfect opportunity to ask us any questions, or share what you’ve learned about artistic resilience! Spend some time with us and the work before the last day which is Sunday, July 14th.

If you can’t make it to the talk, we’ll be floating around the gallery from 12-6pm if you want to connect~

What an excellent experience this has been 😚 always grateful for all the support we’ve received!

Please enjoy these excellent responses to our question of, “How do you practice artistic resilience?”

Repost from .mackenzie.art

Started this new series that will be shown at in the show “PROMPT: a collaborative exhibition about art-making, process, and the variations between two different creative practices.” this May!

The “prompt” for these babies is “water and movement”. I knew I wanted to challenge my perfectionist side and I knew I wanted to draw/paint faces, I also wanted to do it literally on water and through lots of trail and error, I found that nail polish was the perfect(but soooo stinky) medium! The “water “part is pretty self explanatory but the idea of “movement” not only comes into play as the painting wobbles, waves and distorts as I paint but also when I press the wood panel down onto it and lift it out of the water. I am really enjoying the contrast of this painting process againt my oil painting practice. The release of control…joyous and infuriating all in the most wonderful ways. I’ll post a reel shortly to show the process in action!
