Shoulder Anatomy
New ExperimentsI had both of these printed with the intention of working back into them with studio materials. I found some of my foot x-rays that I had printed in color on acetate and just started to layer them to see how they would look. I have more multiple-exposure experiments, using an image of myself and non-objective digital images I created. I would like to print some of these and draw into them, or collage into them. ElbowI started to work on this piece, but am not sure what direction I am headed. I gessoed the background to soften it and then started to draw repetitive patterns on the shirt. Conceptually, I don't feel like the patterns have anything to do with the artwork, so I think I am going to use a soft turquoise pencil and layer text in the negative space. I don't want the text to be blatant, so I will write small and repeat the same phrase over and over, to make it more of a pattern.
After critique, I have a much better direction for this piece. Instead of random patterns, I have been studying and sketching surgical stitch patterns, surgical staples, and surgical tapes. I gessoed the background of the larger scale version I have, and am ready to mark the spaces for the patterns.

Getting ready to teach post-production multiple-exposures to eArt and built a practice one to get my brain wrapped around the process again (3H). Collage & Mixed Media CourseI am working on what I am hoping becomes the final version of the shoulder piece. I colored almost all of the shoulder anatomy that I previously sketched onto tracing paper. I need to fix up the ribs and then cut it out. I also gessoed over the experimental turquoise version with the paint chips, to soften the shoulder anatomy, which now nearly blends into the background. Since I had the gesso out, I also added two coats of gesso over the bright turquoise on my Staples image. (4 H) New Ideas
