Infinite petal hourglass 🥀 Animation attempt #3 This one working from an existing drawing, using it as as frame 1 (you can see a flash of darker outlines). I wanna make this a couple seconds longer eventually though this took like 3 or 4 hours so…

Painting and sculpture installation in the window at @hechoamanoorg (: now

Thank you to so many of you for coming to see it Thursday!! It’s up through November 30th and since it’s in the window, you can see it any time day or night ☺️

Painting: 6.5 x 8 feet, acrylic on plywood. Lit sculptures: instamorph, glass, led lights. Assemblage: paint, artificial plants, wax paper plants, cut fabric, holographic vinyl, cotton fabric, etc

It’s difficult to photograph art behind a window! I’d prefer to get a better shot of the whole painting but here it is.

The white forms, the “fruit”, are from a dream! Other than my ever growing love of leaves, the painting entirely started as a color idea - painting blue over a vivid orange base color.

This whole thing came into being in under a month of nights and weekends and a few days off work, with the very necessary help of Jon and Emily and others, mainly painting artificial plants bright colors. Even in my personal art I need help from friends to generate large quantities of foliage!

❤️🧡🩵💙🖤

Another Living Thing 5 (6th in series cause the first one was just called A Living Thing) Paint pen (posca and deco color) and acrylic on panel 22 x 30 I think? Revisiting this series after almost a decade because the owner of the fourth painting in the series asked if she could commission a painting, preferably of a snake. She did not request that it be so much like the painting that she owns, but I got excited about working in that same style again. The series is about the fractal interconnectedness of living systems. Ecosystems in ecosystems in ecosystems. Emergent individuals, sandcastles, eddies in the stream. This conglomeration of cells and spirit is called a snake by certain other collections of such 😛 I like that the snake in this one, as a line itself, could be a zoom in on any of the lines that make up the plants. Wiggles all the way down (: Thank you Brooke and Lauren for the reason to play with this series again, it was so so fun to make! I’m including the others in the series at the end of the slides. The dog is from 2016, opossum (Brooke’s) 2014, tiger (sideways) & two bigfoots from 2013
