I did two experiments with aluminum foil last week. Here is experiment #2. I will most certainly be doing many Nye experiments with this material. Thank you son for pulling this material out of the drawer two weeks ago, inspiring me to play with it! #materialmonday #aluminumfoil #instartist #painting #inkonpaper #nature #contemporaryart

These are two oldie but goodies that I am really inspired by right now. There are a few pieces in the works that I started after looking through a ton of old photos. Does this happen to anybody else?

[jessicajoylondon]

So here is the deal! Every Monday I'm going to be posting about a new material that I experimented with the week before. Non-art related materials are a hallmark of my studio practice and I want to share my discoveries and reach out to get suggestions from you! There will also be contests for giveaways, so stay tuned!! Last Friday I used bubble wrap under silk and I was pleasantly surprised at the ordered yet organic clean lines I was able to capture. #materialmondays #bubblewrap #silk #dye #instartist

Golden Diffusion #Ink on Yupo #painting 30" x 34" $650.00 When the light shines on this one you can see a geometric pattern that is inherent in the #sennelier ink that I used. If you are interested this piece can be mounted and protected with a coating to protect the surface. This is a sleek and #contemporary alternative to framing.

Loving the sound of the water and ink hitting the paper. I'm going to cut this piece up into several pieces and add different layers on each one. What I'm doing now is essentially painting a background. (at Crane Arts)

Apparatus #2 in action

6 different colors dispensed out of an apparatus of POM containers affixed together in a straight line. This is the 2nd iteration of my baby bottle idea.

I have been creating gestures with this apparatus and here are a few of the results.
