This week consisted of a major studio clean out! I finally built vertical storage for some of my portfolios and works-in-progress based on a pin I saw on Pinterest. I have not quite organized the contents of the portfolios, but they are off the floor of my studio and easier to access. I also put away the many piles of work piled on my tables so I could have workspace again. I also made art this week. I finished the portrait of the Bolivian child I had been working on for Art Club. Lesson learned, I do not like using grids! He feel stiff and flat. I also played with mixing two images from a concert in Photoshop and worked on a sketch of a Horizontal Mattress suture, which I brought into Photoshop and mixed in with a photograph of my elbow scar. I think I am going to try using a different photo for the reversal experiment, so they will be similar but not identical.
I also purchased a book of surgical sutures for reference and am so excited for it to arrive! It must be authentic for the medical professional world because the spiral bound copy cost $900! I bought the softcover version used for $13.99.

What a crazy week! With so much time off of work, I did make two more images for the series Stitched, and cleaned out my Studio. As I was going through papers and filing them, I found my patient folder from Mass Gen with a disc inside. I was able to retrieve two of my x-rays from the disc and started playing with them in Photoshop. I can't help but think the one that show the top of my foot looks "cute." Something about the way the toes are all neatly aligned in an arc. I do like how both have circular edges, making the composites very contemporary. Not sure I have them in a "final" version yet, but still excited that I found new material to work with without having to get injured again!
This week I continued to work on my series, Stitched. I uploaded a drawing of surgical stitches and continued to experiment with it in Photoshop with my surgical scars. I really need to get these images printed so I can work into them with studio materials.
I also added a new page to my real website, GatorheadOriginal, for the Stitched series.
