I have been taking stock and doing an inventory of my work. Often when I am on to new things it is easy to overlook the old stuff.
This is a past series inspired by a stone carving that I did of a Celtic artifact at the Celtic College Stone Carving Class with Laura Travis in Goderich, Ontario.
The original artifact was a stone pillar made in Germany during the La Tene Period, 5th - 4th c. BCE.
I remade the head in clay, cast it in plaster to make a mould and filled it with wet paper pulp. When the pulp form dried it was removed from the mould and more pulp was added. I did this at least six times. The heads were attached to canvas and painted in a series using acrylic paint.
I work spontaneously using my intuitive impulse. Working in series helps things stay fresh and not get bogged down by over-working or over-thinking a piece.
My creative process is about allowing the images to tell their own story and reveal their secrets.
