Ding Gerrous presented an introduction to the technique of the wet plate collodion process on his large format camera at the Marche des Puces in Paris. He explained the work-flow from cleaning the glass, pouring the collodion layer, silver sensitization, exposure, development, fix, and rinse. It is magic when you see a previously blank glass pane turn into a one of a kind photograph in 10 minutes. Silver nitrate stains permanently marked his hands.<br />

The answer is far from simple, and for me it meant going back to my artistic beginnings by exploring shape, structure, and statement, and thinking about creating and not copying. Going back to your base and working on perfecting your skill is the best method of being creative, and the way to turn the switch back on. Mastering technique allows you to explore without thinking about how to accomplish that thing. JW</div>

Art belongs in your home or office because it enhances the mood and overall symmetry of a room. Your surroundings affect your well-being. Your home is your sanctuary and refuge from the world. Your office is where you spend most of the day. Your surroundings influence your mood both positively and negatively. Viewing art increases relaxation, enjoyment and inner calm and reduces stress.<br />

what it wants to reveal of its self; and how I can transform it into the
thing that it wants to be. When I was younger and heard statements by
sculptors that all they do is discover what is inside the material they
have at hand I would think WTF are they talking about. I mean a block of
stone is just that; a block of stone and a lump of clay is just a lump
of clay. Then I started sculpting and discovered what they meant. I use
structural steel for my most challenging, and to me most interesting,
pieces. Now how much soul can a W12X50 I-beam have after all? A lot! For
example there is my sculpture on the Roanoke River Greenway called<b> The Mutated Snail</b>.
After I found the I-beam, it sat around my studio for several months.
Finally, one day I said, "well let's see about doing something with this
beam". </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I started cutting on it and soon the figure of the snail started
emerging. After adding a few extra pieces it looked to me like a large
mutated snail. With some grinding and paint it was finished and ready
for a showing. Exactly how that happened, I don't know except the snail
emerged from that piece of steel. </div>
<div>
I won the City Purchase Award at the
Roanoke City Art Show and the Snail is now enshrined in its present
location near Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. </div>

Usually it is an innocent question from someone who does not create, sometimes it is a criticism implying that the work is so simple that anyone could have painted it. The truth is that it is almost impossible for me to calculate how much time I spend working on a painting. The physical act of painting is a lot less than the amount of time I spend thinking about my painting, dreaming about my painting, and looking at my painting in progress. The honest answer to the question is that it has taken me my whole life to create this painting - it is the sum of everything I know, have learned, and have experienced.<br />
<br />
I am also happy to let you know that <b>Seeker</b> has been selected to show at the 2015 Biennial Exhibition at Olin Hall Galleries. The show opens on March 13 at 6:00 pm with the Juror Lecture and Awards Announcements by Doug McClemont. Reception at 6:30pm. The show closes on April 5th.

About Fjords: Fjords is comprised of new cultural developments in art and literature. We solicit writers and artists, but maintain an open submission policy, which creates a diverse collection of regional and international works from different eras, movements, and languages. Fjords is the first journal to publish some of its authors in a strictly audio format because we recognize the need for literature to be heard as well as read. These works are found in the "recordings" portion of our website. Fjords is a full-color print magazine. www.fjordsreview.com<a href="http://www.fjordsreview.com"></a>suzun hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17026686243043423518noreply@blogger.com0
