first you do something

I've been reading the posts of Omega, Artmixter, Rayne, Melody Johnson and others the last few days, and I must say that I am ashamed that I complain about nothing to work on and these wonderful artists are digging in and making art whilst I whine. Maybe its my destiny to whine. Who knows. But I've resolved to follow Jaspar Johns advice, First I'll do something to several pieces of unmounted canvas and then I'll do something else. I'm looking to multimedia by crossing standard art media, painting for example, and textiles. But somehow there must be some weaving, and there must be some stitching, and then there must be something else. I cannot do a traditional quilt anymore, not even close. There is something inside that wants to break though, I must give it the opportunity. It may come to naught, and i may be forgotten as an artists, but I do it for myself anyway. More to follow this next week as I dedicate this week's blogging to the process. A Note on The Zine: I plan to devote some pages to reviews of textile artist not seen or heard of, but that I've discovered on the web or others have discovered. It behooves us all to see a wide range of work especially from thoae who aren't getting much exposure but who might deserve to. Arashi
